Sunshot Salsa Recipe
Sunshot salsa capitalizes on the plentiful crop of cucumbers and tomatoes harvested across the Appalachian region in the summertime. We love to use heirloom tomatoes like Cherokee Purple and Brandywine. It’s the ideal refreshing sidekick to grilled salmon.
Directions:
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 hour to allow the flavors to combine. This salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
*Makes 3 cups of salsa.
