She's coming over for dinner and you need to make something quick. Something decent, not reheated leftovers. No time for a lot of prep, no time for shopping for a lot of ingredients either. A good shortcut is to grab a jar of salsa and use that as a base.

Most salsas are just diced tomatoes, peppers, jalapeños, onions, some spices, and other ingredients depending on the type of salsa - ingredients you'd use to cook with anyway. And if you choose your brand well, you'll get all that without a lot of preservatives and other stuff you don't want.

Susan's All Natural Green Tomato Salsa is a good one to use. It's made with stuff right from Susan's own garden (that's gotta be some huge garden), without any preservatives to mess with your cooking.

For an easy and fast dinner she'll love, grab a couple of salmon fillets, a jar of Susan's Salsa and some spices and follow the recipe below. You'll find other recipes, and info on how to buy Susan's Salsas at www.greentomatofoods.com
