winter salsa

It's not the season for fresh local cilantro and fresh local tomatoes, so I used some more local ingredients, which were

1 can tomatoes (from the garden or store), drained

1 carrot

one small apple, peeled and cored, or 1/2 regular (I eat the peelings)

part of red bell pepper (1/8 or so)

dried cilantro (or fresh from the store if it looks reasonable--ours was droopy)

tiny bit of onion and garlic so it doesn't overwhelm the other flavors. Add more to taste.

Blend up in a blender. The carrot thickens the sauce.
