Ingredients:

  1. 1/2 small purple onion, peeled, quartered

  3. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, stems removed
  4. 1/2 canned chipotle chile (more or less to taste)

For Mango Pineapple Salsa
Omit 2 tomatoes and the chipotle chile. Add 1 cup mango chunks, 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, 1/2 seeded jalapeño pepper and 1 pitted avocado, quartered.

For Smoky Hot Salsa
Increase the chipotle chilies to 1-2, according to taste. Add 1-2 teaspoons chipotle sauce, according to taste.
Pulse as directed.

Cook’s Hint: There are endless possibilities when it comes to salsa. Try it on baked potatoes, toss salsa into salad greens for a healthy take on dressing, add salsa to scrambled eggs, or stuff salsa into boneless chicken breasts before baking. Keep fresh salsa close at hand for innovative, delicious add-ins.
