Canyon Ranch Spa Chipotle Salsa

I love all things spicy, but the nice thing about making your own salsa is you can decide just how spicy you like to make it!  With this great salsa, a touch of smoky chipotle pepper adds complexity to classic Southwestern salsa.  Quick, easy and delicious.

Enjoy the Canyon Ranch Spa experience at home!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 15-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained (I recommend fire roasted, organic)
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced (best to use fresh)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon minced canned chipotle pepper (how to save leftover chipotle peppers)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• Pinch red chili flakes (the flavor will become more pronounced as the moisture brings them back to life)

PREPARATION

1. Place all ingredients in a blender container or bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth.  Pour in a jar.
2. Store covered in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Yield:  16 servings (each 2 tablespoons)
