CONTEST-WINNING STRAWBERRY SALSA

Contest-Winning Strawberry Salsa image

Guests often try to guess the secret ingredient in this. None think of strawberries...but many ask for the recipe. Our six children-all daughters-are grown, and we have 10 grandchildren. Knitting is among my hobbies, so I plan on making an afghan for all 16 of them. So far, I've finished 10!

BALSAMIC STRAWBERRY SALSA

Balsamic Strawberry Salsa image

I first tried this at a wedding shower and every one of the guests (including myself) begged for the recipe. Don't let the seemingly odd combination of strawberries and tomatoes throw you off, it is delicious. I make this to take to showers, dinner parties, picnics--anywhere where people will be snacking. I NEVER have leftovers. A wonderful alternative for those who don't like "hot" salsas.

STRAWBERRY TOMATO SALSA

Strawberry Tomato Salsa image

Here's a sweet and tangy salsa that's miles away from the spicy version people expect. Serve it as an appetizer with tortilla chips for scooping, or make it part of the main event and spoon it over chicken or pork. -Amy Hinkle, Topeka, Kansas
