Watch out Martha Stewart

Or maybe Jimmy Stewart....

In all my culinary excitement, I went out last night and bought another cookbook. There is something about laying in bed reading a cookbook. (doesn't everyone read them in bed?) Anyway, I made this amazing AMAZING salsa tonight that no one but John and I ate...which is just fine with me.

So I wanted to share my recipe with you so that you could read this post in bed and hopefully make it tomorrow. Since I am just too lazy to get up and FAR lazier to actually measure ingredients, I will tell you that it is about a cup per fruit and a cup per veggie

Cantaloupe (I used half and saved the other half for breakfast)

Mango (used the whole thing because I couldn't be bothered to wrap this up too)

Strawberries (just enough so I could have some tomorrow)

Cucumber - seeded (although I usually don't take the extra step to dirty a spoon, I did tonight and I used half because Madison got to the other half

Small red onion - (I would recommend if it makes you cry on slicing, just use 1/4 as 1/2 of the onion was too much)

Green pepper - (I used all but what Madison ate)

Fresh Mint - (picked until I got tired of picking)

Basil - (went by memory at the grocery store and forgot to pick this up

1 T honey

Juice of one small lime

I put every ingredient into my food processor and pulsed the machine until it was chunky but not pureed....mxed it into a bowl....threw it in the fridge for an hour.....served it over rice and chicken but am thinking about using white fish the next time....

Happy Cooking!
