- Tear the iceberg and romaine lettuce into pieces and transfer them to a salad bowl. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
- Combine the oil, vinegar, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and the parsley, salt, pepper and cayenne in a bowl, and mix well. Chill covered, in the refrigerator, until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

SPICY GARDEN SALSA
This is a great salsa recipe. It's very HOT and has strong flavors of onion and garlic. Unlike a lot of salsa recipes, this one isn't sweet. The key ingredient is white vinegar, which really makes the flavors pop. I hope you like it as much as I do - Enjoy

Steps:
- Add peeled red onion, salt, white vinegar and minced garlic to blender.
- Add tomatoes - Use standard tomatoes (not roma, cherry, etc.) If possible, get ones that are vine ripened. Choosing good tomatoes makes a huge difference in the flavor!
- Add Jalapeños to blender based on your preferences to the following - Leave seeds in for some good heat. Remove them to make a milder salsa. Jalapeños can vary widely on their heat. The ones that are solid green are more mild, while the ones with the white striations up the sides are the hottest.
- Cilantro - grab the leafy end of the cilantro and pull off the thicker stems at the bottom. Add leafy part of cilantro to blender.
- Coarsely blend all ingredients and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best salsa. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa. If you can, use homegrown or locally grown vegetables.
- Don't over-process the salsa: A good salsa should have some texture. If you over-process it, it will become mushy.
- Taste the salsa as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
- Let the salsa rest: After you make the salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Crunchy garden salsa is a delicious and refreshing dip that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give this salsa a try.
