From the "Kids' Corner" - Easy Celery Salsa
This easy salsa is great for kids to make and enjoy with chips or on cheese quesadillas or nachos! Thanks to Amy Walsh, Illinois Benedictine University Dietetic Intern, for sharing this recipe!
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 clove garlic, diced
2/3 medium tomato, diced
2/3 stalk celery, diced
2/3 small onion, diced
1/2 cup tomato juice
3/4 teaspoon all-purpose flour
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Hot pepper sauce, to taste
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, tomato, celery, and onion, and cook about 3 minutes, until heated through. Pour in tomato juice, bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking 5 minutes, or until onions and celery are tender. Stir flour into the salsa to thicken. Continue cooking to desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
Serves 4.
