"This is a tomato-less salsa made with fresh bell peppers and other fresh vegetables. It's great on any Mexican dish, or anything you might use salsa for. It's my own recipe."

This was quite good. At first I was hesitant to use the cucumber, but it added a really nice balance to the flavors. -
WOW! I LOVE this! The flavors together area awesome, and since my tomatoes didnt do squat this year, this is as good as it's going to get!

Loved it! My friend brought a no-tomato salsa to a potluck and it was so good that I found myself craving it. I couldn't find a similar recipe until I stumbled across this and I'm so glad I did! I didn't have all the ingredients, so I substituted in what I had: Green peppers instead of yellow and red, and raw zucchini instead of cucumber. I chopped everything up pretty finely and was very pleased with the results. If you don't care much for tomatoes, this should be a go-to salsa recipe.

I'm an American English teacher living and working in Japan. The fast food here is not so great, so I spend a lot of time cooking and trying new recipes.
I grew up in an Italian-American household, so I'm used to good Italian home cooking. I learned a lot from my family, but also use cookbooks regularly. I mostly cook Italian and Asian-fusion dishes, Irish soups, and some traditional Japanese dishes. I love having so many fresh Asian ingredients readily available, but I miss the shelves of an American supermarket just as much!
I love being a teacher, and my other hobbies include photography, knit & crochet, and playing guitar & singing.
