Sparky’s World Famous Salsa
March 30th, 2009 by Rich Jacobson
Okay, so this is probably the first and only recipe you’ll encounter here on SoundBite. I typically give other real estate agents a hard time for blogging about jokes and recipes. Most consumers want good quality real estate content, not Aunt Betty’s County Fair winning recipe for meat loaf.
However, I’ve been asked enough times that it warrants posting my salsa recipe. There just aren’t enough characters on Twitter to do the recipe justice, and posting to Facebook would simply get lost in the shuffle.
For the most part, fresh ingredients are the key to making good salsa, so don’t cut corners there. Find a local market that excels at good quality produce. Fortunately for us here on the Kitsap Peninsula, we have Central Market in Poulsbo.
Mix the following in a large mixing bowl:
8 – 10 large finely chopped radishes
One bunch of fresh Cilantro – I usually cut-off the top half with just the greens and chop it semi-fine.
6 – 8 cloves of fresh finely chopped garlic – you can use the a tablespoon of the pre-chopped stuff.
1/2 diced Sweet Onion – I prefer Walla Walla sweets…
6 finely sliced green onions
One large Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
2 large Jalapeno Peppers, finely chopped
4 small to medium vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped semi-fine
Two cans of Rotel Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
Two small cans of Tomato Sauce
7 or 8 cranks of freshly ground pepper from a mill
1 teaspoon of sugar
If you want more heat, add another Jalapeno or a habanero.

Hey Rhonda! My guac recipe isn’t anything very sophisticated. I start with 3 large ripe Avocados, 1 cup of Mayonaisse, 1/2 of my salsa, and a couple squirts of Sriracha Hot Chili sauce, and a dash of lime juice.
That sounds great–do you have a recipe for guac?
Radishes!? That’s a new twist.
