Asparagus Salsa--it's all vegetables!

Asparagus Salsa--it's all vegetables!

40 or so asparagus sprigs (2 bunches)
1 jalapeño pepper diced and without seeds
2 red or orange bell pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 12oz can tomato paste
1 or 2 cloves of fresh garlic diced
1/4 cup red onion diced
2 cups water

Directions:

1. Dice up and add all ingredients to large pot and simmer over medium heat for 1 hour. Don't let it dry out add more water as needed so it's wet.

2. Let it stand for 10 minutes to cool somewhat. Put the mixture in a food processor and blend. I use a magic bullet so it's divided into three separate containers. Then I freeze two of them until I want to eat it later.

I eat this with celery for a completely healthy vegetable snack or with healthy crackers if I need a more filling snack. It's great with quinoa chips.   http://www.foodshouldtastegood.com/ - /multigrain/
