green tomato salsa

As an act of desperation last year I had to come up with something to do with 50 pounds of green tomatoes. After I used all the recipes I could find, I devised my own green tomato salsa. Amazingly enough, it was a hit, and now hubby is picking my tomatoes green on purpose just so I'll make it for him! So I figured I would share...

  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed

How To Make green tomato salsa

  • Step 1
    Place all ingredients in a food processor (any order you want) and let fly. Your end result should not be pureed smooth, it should be lumpy and chunky.
  • Step 2
    Since most food processors wont handle that much at once, just do the ingredients as much as you can, then mix together by hand in a bowl.
  • Step 3
    The salsa should be allowed to "sit" in the refrigertor for at least 24 hours before you use it so the flavors can meld best.
  • Step 4
    After the 24 hour "sitting" you can freeze as much of this as you want, and it thaws beautifully!
