It's exactly what it sounds like.
Green.
Or at least greener than red salsa...
Hm... I'll start over.
Come try this great healthy Green salsa :-D! It happens to be quite delicious as well!
Ok, did I sell it to you now? I'm hopeless today! Words just wont come out of my mouth the way I want them to and this is why without further ado I'll just leave you with the recipe.
Here it is :-)!
Green Salsa
- 3-4 medium-large tomatoes finely chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1-2 large handfuls of kale (depending on how "green" you want it)
- a handful of chopped coriander/cilantro
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove
- a knife's tip of Sambal Oelek
- a dash of lime or lemon juice
- a pinch or two of brown sugar
- salt
- pepper
Chop everything up small and mix it together to make a delicious salsa. I ran the kale, garlic and cilantro in a food processor to get it really small. Use when you make gluten free and vegan enchiladas, or go try a Salsa Salmon!?!?!? ;-)
Good Luck!

Now I feel slightly silly posting this recipe.... because well, I dunno if I can call it a recipe....
It's more a list of ingredients. And then you will just have to do what I did, adjust it to your own taste buds. I did read a recipe I randomly found online, and then I did absolutely nothing of what it said ;-)! So I'm giving you the opportunity to do the same.
This is what worked brilliantly for me :-)!
Dairy Free Tzatziki
-3 dl Natural Soyghurt
-1 clove Garlic
-1 Grated Cucumber (drained in a sieve)
-Salt
-Pepper
-A splash of lemon juice or some grated lemon rind
I used only 1 clove of garlic to it as I felt I wanted to taste the other tastes too. Raw garlic can be so overpowering. stir it all together and let it infuse for at least an hour before you serve it. before you serve it add salt or anything else extra if you feel it needed more.
Good Luck!

Ok so this is one of the best recipes I know! And it is courtesy of my sister-in-law Marie who is one of the best cooks I know! Only makes sense that this recipe ROCKS! Over the weekend I was in England visiting family and made this for one of my meals. My other sister-in-law had a taste and fell in love so I had to share it with her through this blog. I hope that is ok Marie ;-)!!!!
Also it means I no longer have to keep my little note you wrote me on my fridge. It is still there, front and center as I use this recipe often! I can not stress enough how yummy it is with anything! I recently made olive and spinach ravioli (gluten-free of course) and this sauce was it's perfect match!
Marie's AMAZING Tomato Sauce (Slightly modified for OMS)
Splash of extra virgin olive oil
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
3 tins of crushed tomatoes
2 tsp of bullion or one cube (yeast, gluten and sugarfree)
a small pinch of bicarbonate soda
a splash of maple syrup
a tiiiiiiny bit of Sambal Oelek
Salt
Pepper
Shredded zucchini/kale/celeri or any other green vegetable you would like
Fresh basil
Saute the onion garlic and Sambal oelek in the splash of EVOO. Add everything else except the shredded veggies and the basil. Let it cook for as long as possible but preferably 30 min. Then add the vegetables and let bubble for a while longer. At the last second add the basil and further seasoning if needed.
Serve this with pasta or use as a pizza sauce! If you are not on the OMS diet then serve with some cheese, but if you are look into making almond cheese! I am, I'm just needing to collect some tools for it first :-)!
Also I use this structure for any sauce or stew I am making that has tomatoes in it. Like yesterday I made a Saag curry and I thought there was something missing so I added a splash of maple syrup and bicarbonate of soda and BAM! Amazing!
Once again, thank you Marie for this wonderful recipe!
Good Luck!
