Strawberry Salsa
This recipe can be made in the food processor or diced by hand. The hand diced version tends to emphasize the crunchiness of the peppers over the sweet tang of this salsa.
In a food processor add:
-
half a pint of trimmed strawberries
-
half a red bell pepper
-
half a yellow bell pepper
-
half a green bell pepper
-
half a red onion
-
one quarter cup of cilantro leaves
-
half a jalapeno, seeded
-
half a serrano, seeded
-
one quarter cup of orange juice
-
two tablespoons lime juice
-
two tablespoons of olive oil
-
two tablespoons of garlic flavored, or plain vinegar
-
half a teaspoon of salt
-
a good grinding of black pepper
Pulse the ingredients to the desired consistancy and adjust the vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.
This salsa is best when it has time to blend the flavors (2-4 hours) and is also best at room temperature.
This recipe is based off of a recipe from Nicole Routhier's Fruit Cookbook.

After-Hours Produce Pick-Up Program |
 The OHSU Farmers market is thrilled to finally bring you the new Produce Pick-Up program. July 8th will be the 1st pick-up after the Tuesday Farmers Market. Why this program? Many of our busy staff at OHSU cannot make it to the market from 11:30-3:30 but want to support local farmers and bring home some fresh goods.
This program will ensure a better sales day for our vendors and make the most seasonal, fresh, delicious food accessible after work. There are a few important details to know in order to make this a smooth and delightful offering. Number of participants limited. Please read our After-Hours Produce Newsletter for more details. | |
Pass this e-mail on to a colleague or suggest they sign up for their own newsletter on our website. We invite you to come and support your local food producers in the Auditorium Courtyard near the Mackenzie Hall Fountain off Sam Jackson Road near the Plaid Pantry. See you Tuesday from 11:30-3:30! Stay tuned for next week's newsletter with market updates on the best food in the world! Sincerely,
Eecole Copen
