   This very basic salsa is made throughout Mexico as standard fare for all

7. 7

   preparation of food. The common name is “salsa de la cocina” (kitchen

8. 8

   sauce). What makes this so wonderful is that it is much higher in vitamin C

   than most foods and also high in vitamin A.

10. 10

    1. Simply dice all ingredients and place in a bowl and allow to age for

11. 11

    several hours. In Mexico it is accustomed to add some flat beer. It

12. 12

    gives it a nice taste and helps preserve it. I add 1/4 teaspoon of ascor-

13. 13

    bic acid (vitamin C) powder. It keeps nicely for about 10 days. If you

14. 14

    are going to keep it around longer add 1 tablespoon of virgin olive oil.
