Salsa - My favorite lunch

[Brieziel]

this is one of my regular lunch favorites!

Onion
Green Pepper (Capsicum)
Tomato
Dried Chilli Flakes
Basil
Balsmic Vinegar

Finely chop onion(allowance - i use about 5 grams), roughly chop equal(ish!) amounts of tomato and green pepper (to total vege allowance)
Mix together and then add desired amount of chilli and dried basil, splosh a bit of balsmic vinegar and stir.

Refridgerate and serve with Cracker and Cheese allowance.

I'm half a tomato at a time as well...... you just have more green pepper (capsicum) or add baby spinach leaves to make up your vege allowance

Thanks very much for that recipe. That was beautiful. Just tried it.

So good. Have made a big batch to get me through the week for lunchs.

Once again god bless. Meals were getting boring.

Brie

Could you please tell me what cheese to buy?

Do you just buy the block of Mozz or Riccota /Feta that is in the Woolies Cheese section?

I know this sounds dumb but i got quite confused looking at all the cheeses yesterday.

Kind Regards
Anna

Mmmm - I'll be trying that for lunch today! Not sure that I have chilli flakes tho' might have some powder...

Anna - BLock of Mozza is fine - don't get it grated. THe ricotta (And feta I think) have to be fresh so get it from the deli...it's delischious! And they weigh it so you can get smaller amounts to save wastage (I re-weigh it tho' cos I order enough for a week)

Many Thanks Glassangel ,that has solved a silly but puzzling issue for me!!

Stay away from grated cheese, as it has anti caking agents added to it (flour etc).
I use the Mozza pears... i usually buy them in the 500g size. The other option is to buy Boccochini, you can get it in tubs - each small "Cherry" boccochini weighs between 10-11 grams so they are good if you get stuck without scales....

Hi Brie
When I was at my clinic last time I asked them about Boccochini - we aren't allowed to eat it even though it's fresh mozza.
Bummer cos I love the stuff and it has less salt.

They keep changing things! when i started i specifically asked if i could have the boccochini and was told it was o.k.
oh well.
