DIY Salsa:

In a snack size bag put: 1/4 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes (air dried) 1 Tbsp diced dried shallots or onions 1 Tbsp tomato powder 2 tsp diced dried jalapenos 3 packets True Lime powder 1/2 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp diced dried garlic 1/4 tsp ground pepper pinch of salt

Add 3/4 cup room temperature water, stirring well and seal tightly. Let sit for 30 minutes to an hour to rehydrate. Knead the bag gently every 10 minutes or so.

Can be sped up by using warm (not boiling) water.

Makes 1 cup salsa. This is a considerable amount, you may want to halve the recipe. For spicier salsa up the jalapenos to a Tablespoon. This would work well with part of the tomatoes replaced with diced dried bell peppers or freeze dried mango.
