You can do this at home...

SALSA BASE

3 cups chopped tomatoes

2 cups chopped onion

3/4 cup chopped cilantro

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt to taste

SALSA FRESCA

Divide SALSA BASE in half and place in separate bowls.

To half the base in first bowl add the following: Juice of 1 lemon, 1-2 minced jalapenos, 1-2 minced garlic cloves, minced hot chile to taste, salt to taste.

SALSA CARIBE

To half the base in the second bowl add the following:  juice of 1/2 to 1 lime, 1 chopped mango, 1/2 red onion, red &/or yellow hot chilis (to taste). 

Let the flavors blend for at least an hour if you can wait that long.

SALSA FIESTA PLATTER 

Now the fun begins!  On a large platter, make a nest of greens, make a mix of fresh, raw greens in season--arugala, kale, bok choy, spinach, lettuces.  Now pile on lots of cooked whole grain rice. Mix together 2 cups cooked black beans, 2 cups cooked corn with one of the salsas above. Add this bean, corn, salsa mixture on top of the rice.  Finish off with lots of chopped cilantro. 

Use the remaining salsa as a side dish with baked, no oil chips.

Let the FIESTA begin!
