My neighbors laughed at me when I planted my Square Foot Garden last August 15th…in Iowa. However, today (Jan 11) I harvested lots of cilantro to make a very tasty salsa. I call it pseudo-fresh because I used canned tomatoes that I had on hand.

Pseudo -Fresh Salsa

1 can Delmonte Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano
1/2 onion
1/4 yellow bell pepper
2 sprigs of fresh cilantro

Chop onion, pepper, and cilantro (I use my Ninja).  Add to drained tomatoes. Could add “heat” by putting a few chilliest in.

I served this on a warmed sun-dried tomato tortilla with freshly grated mozzerella cheese.
