Earlier this year we planted a summer squash and zuchinni; both plants are healthy and big producers. So much so that we have an over abundant supply of both. So, while looking for more ways to utilize this growing resource, I came across this recipe and it piqued my interest. <br /> <br />Made the salsa a few weeks ago and took it with us on a wine tasting vacation with another couple. Brought it out on the first night to everyones delight. In no time it was gone, so I made another batch, only this time doubled it. Aside from the usual musings heard like "Mmmmm, delicious" and "I love this" and "Where did you get this" I also heard "I think you've stumbled to something here" and "This just became my favorite salsa" <br /> <br />A winner, through and through. Thank you, Food Network for all your help. Now, I'm off to make another batch.
