I'm so glad to hear that you all press the garlic and quarter the jalapeno!! I made this at my show ovewr the weekend and followed the recipe in the catalog. It tasted great but there were big chunks of jalapeno and garlic. We all agreed that next time do it like you all said. I sold 2 salad choppers and 2 citrus presses! It tastes awesome with lime tortilla chips.

Did you make the lime tortilla chips? Then you can show off our stoneware and kitchen spritzer as well!
 
I have made them before and they're yum-o but this time I just had the host pick up a bag of Tostito's "hint of lime" from the store. It's just enough to make all the flavors burst in your mouth!!

Another thing you can do to eliminate that....start off with the jalapeno and garlic in the bowl first and cut them up some...then add in the onions and cut...lastly add in the tomatoes so they don't turn to mush while you are getting everything else into small enough pieces.

The lime chips would be super with that salsa! You shouldn't have reminded me of that!! :eek: LOL
 
I did have the garlic and jalapeno in there first, but that garlic is so small to begin with! My next show I'm going to take the cilantro in the herb keeper and show that off. I loved stripping the leaves with the kitchen shears!
 
When I made it last night - I didn't have a jalapeno but I had a Chili pepper, so I just used part of that - it worked great! I also thought about half way thru chopping that the next time I would use the garlic press! Glad to know it wasn't just me!
