Holly Jolly Dip

1 whole roasted red pepper (from a jar)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 small garlic clove
2 TBL olive oil

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse for 10 seconds, scrape down the sides, then repeat until combined, about 1 minute. Makes 3/4 cup.

This is such a dish full of flavor and it only takes a few minutes to make. During the holiday season, we are often racing from this party to the next. This is a quick and yummy dish that your guests will love. Serve it with veggies, tortilla chips, pita chips or crostini. Enjoy!

Homemade Salsa

5 fresh tomatoes
1 medium onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 fresh lime squeezed and juiced
1/4 c chopped, fresh cilantro
Jalapeno pepper, the whole thing minced or as much as you want
Salt and Pepper to taste

If you have a mini chopper or food processor, place all ingredients in it and chop. If you do not have one of the above, hand chopping will work the same. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips or on salad, hamburgers, chicken, fish or anything you would like.

Homemade salsa is something my mom would always make. The taste is so fresh and the bowl is usually wiped clean. This is simple to make, but the flavors are amazing. I always enjoyed Summer grill outs and my mom making homemade salsa. There is nothing quite like it! After making homemade salsa, store bought salsa just doesn't compare. Enjoy the summer fruits and veggies...make some salsa today!
