Northern New Mexico Salsa

Marlene's Salsa

Ingredients

• 4 or 5 garlic buds
• 1/2 to 1 bunch cilantro (depending on size of bunch)
• 2-3 bunches green onions with greens
• 3 green jalapeno and 1 yellow jalapeno (with seeds) (or 4 green jalapenos)
• 2 (14 ounce cans) of whole tomatoes
• juice of to 1 lime
• avocados - diced
• Whole fresh garden tomatoes diced
• Caldo (to taste - maybe about 1 teaspoon)
• Garlic Powder (to taste)
• salt

Preparation

1. I use my food processor.
2. Process the ingredients separately.   Otherwise if you keep adding the ingredients altogether it will end up like mush.
3. Mix together in a big bowl
   
4. Chop garlic buds very fine.
5. Then cilantro. 
6. I remove garlic and cilantro from food processor and add to big bowl.
     
7. I cut the onions with greens into about 1 inches and add a little tomato juice and process just a few seconds so that the texture remains and add to big bowl.
   
   
8. I chop the canned tomatoes just a couple seconds, just enough so to leave pieces of tomato. 
9. Add diced avocados to big bowl
10. Add diced fresh tomatoes to big bowl
11. Add Caldo, Garlic powder, lime and salt to taste
