Onion Salsa

By , About.com Guide

My grandmother used to make this salsa all the time. Apparently one time she was going to make salsa and when she went to get the tomatoes, most of them had gone bad. So she used extra onion and it was a big hit. The family has since vamped up the recipe and it is delicious. Use it anywhere you use regular salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 white onion, peeled
  • 1 red onion, peeled
  • 1 bunch of green onions
  • 1 bunch of fresh cilantro
  • 1 tomato
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce or tomato juice
  • splash of vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation:

Coarsely chop the onions, cilantro, tomato and garlic. In a seperate bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, vinegar, salt and vegetable oil. Drizzle over the chopped vegetables and use a spoon to combine thouroughly. Let the salsa sit for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors combine.
