Cantina Salsa

This salsa is a staple around here! We eat in on anything and everything! I often quadruple the recipe when we’re feeding a crowd, and I’m always amazed at how quickly it disappears.

Ingredients

• 2 -14.5 oz cans stewed tomatoes
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 handful cilantro
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• Chipotle Tabasco Sauce

Directions

Place everything except the Tabasco and one can of tomatoes in a blender. Pulse a couple times. Add the 2nd can of tomatoes and pulse until everything is chopped but not pureed. Add the Tabasco sauce a few shakes at a time, taste testing along the way. Refrigerate a couple hours for best flavor.

Ranch Dressing

Ranch dressing from the store kind of grosses me out, but homemade ranch…I could eat it with a spoon! I’ve tried several good recipes, but most of them call for fresh herbs, or fresh lemon juice.  I love this recipe because it uses ingredients I always have on hand, and it’s delicious!  If you’re trying to get your kids to eat more veggies, try serving it with this!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk
• 3/4 – 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1-3 teaspoons white vinegar

Directions

Whisk all ingredients together, except for the vinegar (or just dump everything in a big mason jar, put the lid on, and shake the heck out of it). Start adding the vinegar a teaspoon at a time, tasting as you go. Add additional salt & pepper if needed. Store in the fridge (it stays good at least a week or 2!).
