Bonjour, mes amis! Today, we’re venturing into the bold and exciting territory of combining the time-honored culinary traditions with the emerging world of CBD, a non-psychoactive extract derived from the cannabis plant known for its potential health benefits. I’m sure Julia Child, with her adventurous spirit, would have been thrilled to experiment with such a modern ingredient. I present to you a vibrant, zesty, and healthful CBD-infused salsa, perfect for a light snack or to add some pizzazz to your favorite Mexican dishes.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: No cooking required.
Yield: 2 cups
Ingredients
4 ripe tomatoes
1 large red onion
2 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 lime
Salt to taste
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
20mg CBD oil (Ensure its food-grade and THC-free)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the tomatoes and red onion into small pieces. Remove the seeds from the jalapenos (unless you want extra heat) and mince finely. Mince the garlic cloves as well.
- Chop the cilantro. You’ll want to remove the majority of the stems, but a few here and there won’t hurt. The leaves carry the most flavor.
- Zest the lime and then juice it. Be sure to zest it first, as it’s much more difficult to zest a lime that’s already been juiced!
- Combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapenos, and garlic into a large bowl and stir well to combine the mix.
- Add in the lime zest and juice. This will provide a nice, tangy kick to your salsa and help meld the flavors together.
- Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Start with a small amount of each and more if desired.
- Next, drizzle in the olive oil, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Finally, add the CBD oil. Since CBD oil is quite potent, it’s important to incorporate it thoroughly into the salsa. It is important to stir well to ensure its evenly distributed.
- Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the CBD oil to fully incorporate.
Conclusion
There you have it, my dear friends! A salsa not only brimming with flavor, but also potentially offering the healthful benefits of CBD. Whether you’re using it to top your favorite taco, or simply enjoying it with a bowl of crispy tortilla chips, this salsa is sure to liven up your table. Remember, as Julia Child once said, “The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. Bon Appétit!
