AlyMcF Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Starting tomorrow! Have cleared away the things I can't eat and restocked my shelves and fridge with new exciting foods. I made some hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot, and prechopped some peppers and mushrooms for an omelette type breakfast. I've also made purple salsa, though I am not exactly sure how I will eat it without my standard corn chips. Maybe on lettuce? Purple salsa consists of: Chopped purple cabbage, chopped red onion, juice from a lime, chopped fresh tomato, chopped jalapeno and some black pepper and sea salt.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2018 Your purple salsa would probably be good in your omelette. Or mix it with some mayo and top your hard boiled eggs with it. Make some taco meat or carnitas and make taco salads, or tacos using lettuce wraps or thinly sliced jicama instead of tortillas and use the salsa as a topping for them. Lots of options, really -- stop classifying it as a dip, and think of it as extra flavor for your favorite foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made some salsa the other day (though not purple...how interesting!) for carnitas later in the week, and ended up putting it on some lettuce with avocado and a sliced up chicken thigh tossed around - quite lovely and felt enough like mexican to make me happy.
