How To Make Salsa With A Box Grater

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Bell peppers are lower in calories and can add sweetness, while banana peppers are often less expensive.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: green onions

Parsley is a nutritious alternative, and green onions can be more budget-friendly.

Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the tomato and red onion onto a plate.

Leaving grater in place, turn the plate to use the smaller holes to grate the garlic and jalapeño.

Remove grater, and pour lime juice over the top of the mixture, mixing with a fork.

Add cilantro, salt and pepper, and mix again to combine.

Taste to check seasonings and adjust if necessary.

Serve with chips, guac, or on your favorite food.
