1 small onion
bunch of fresh cilantro
1-3 garlic cloves
1 whole jalapeno

Chop in bowl using salad chopper.

Add:
1 pint grape tomatoes
1/4 tsp salt, maybe more if you'd like

Chop.

Add juice from 1 lime.

I do this at almost every show and they love it!

 

[cincychef]

Thank you! I thought that was the list but I kept thinking I was forgetting something.

I don't do the jalepenos for fear someone will then try to put their finger on it, then their eye!

I usually end up burning my eye at every show. I must be getting immune!

Usually there's someone who gripes about the jalapeno and so I have to spend an hour encouraging them that it wont' be that bad. I don't take it out though because I don't think it has much flavor without it.

I just put a can of mild green chiles in it--shows the can opener. I did this last month at 12 shows and sold over 100 salad chopers.

I would not no were to begin with a fresh jalepenos. Seeds in or out? I have never used them before... I do love this I idea. I am doing a show this weekend and we are making Empanada Grande this would be great with it.

I use fresh green chili pepper. It's milder than jalapeno, but still gives the salsa that nice fresh flavor. I seed it first though.

Seeds OUT unless you want it extra hot!

I make it with the seeds in, just cut off the top of the pepper. It has a kick to it, but I sold 10 salad choppers by doing that demo.

Does anyone have a photo of how this turns out, I am interested to see how good the salad chopper works.

 

[merego]

I don't have a photo, but it does turn out great, I can tell you that

It turns out so great! There is a picture of it in catalogs from the last 2 seasons.

I do this as a pass around interactive demo - I pass the bowl around, and let everyone chop it a bit, and by the time it gets around the room it's done, everyone is so impressed, and I sell a TON of salad choppers!:thumbup:

(It's addictive too! Incredibly delicious!)

 

[stacywhitlow]

I haven't tried that but have thought about doing it at shows. I might have to break down & give it a whirl.

 

[ChefNic]

OMg...options!
I reallllly want to do this at a show...pass the bowl around...i talk about it all the time at shows, but have never done it.

Now I have too many options...I don't know which way to go!
With jalapeno or chili pepper or can of green chilies...
!!!!!
hmmmm........................................

use the corer to take the seeds out of the jalepeno (without it it just ain't Salsa Sorry!!)I use the garlic press for the garlic to keep it from getting hung in the blades of the chopper and it distributes better

I use the garlic press too - plus, then you show another tool!

I did this Salad Chopper Salsa as an interactive demo and sold 2 at my last show! The guests loved chopping up the ingredients. Then they raved about how good the salsa was!

Good idea about pressing the garlic - I found the garlic was in too large chunks.

I always take the seeds (and white area) out of the jalapenos so it's not too spicey - you never know about guests spicey quota. I love jalepenos. I love saying "jalapenos". Off topic - there was a commercial out for a shredded cheese mix - one of the ladies says she loves "jah-LA-pen-ohs" - it cracks me up!
