Make salsa with cherry tomatoes, half an onion, 2 cloves garlic, jalapeno pepper, lime zest and juice, cilantro. Do it all with the salad choppers or food chopper.
Serve with tortilla chips you made ahead - sprinkles of lime juice and some fresh ground salt from the grinder. cut them apart and bake in a 200-300 degree oven for about 8-12 minutes.

Apple Berry Salsa (from All The Best Cookbook)
an apple, strawberries, kiwi, optional orange zest, possibly some sweetener - jelly or honey or sugar.
Serve with cinnamon tortilla chips that you make ahead - brush with water, cinnamon and sugar (or any of the sweet sprinkles!)
Good luck!
