Salad Savoy Salsa
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. This recipe has been created for the Salad Savoy Corporation, a commercial producer and grower of wonderful colorful Swiss Chard in Salinas, Ca. I used their bagged Steamin' Greens for color, taste and nutrition.
2-3 cups of diced Steamin' Greens (Swiss chard)
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely sliced green onion
1/2 - 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
zest and juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon raw sugar
1 banana, sliced and diced
Dice the greens, onions and jalapeno. (Choose quantity of jalapeno depending on your desire for hotness. Sometimes I make it extra hot by adding even more pepper, and sometimes I keep it on the mild side by using only 1/4 - 1/2 pepper. It depends on what you plan to pair this salsa with. Try it hotter for beef meat balls, and milder for crab or salmon cakes.) Add remaining ingredients, taste for seasonings adjusting as desired. Chill at least 30 minutes for flavors to develop. Serve as a side dish or as a topping, or even as a salad dressing. It is also wonderful over brie cheese as an appetizer.
