Easy Tomatillo Salsa!

This is a cheater's recipe. Everyone needs some of these kinds of recipes in their box for lazy days, or something your kids could make on their own. It's also great for the middle of winter when fresh tomatoes are not generally tasty.

Ky's Winter Tomatillo Salsa

1 14-oz can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (or your favorite flavor)
1/2 red onion diced
1 Tbsp vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar, and experiment with others)
3-6 tomatillos, husked, rinsed and diced
small bunch of fresh cilantro, minced or 1-2 tsp dried
dash of granulated garlic (1 clove fresh chopped, a little more than a dash if powdered)

Combine all ingredients, taste for flavor. I usually don't add salt, but often need some black pepper.

Add-ins: try this mix and add in a can of drained and rinsed black beans, 1 diced avocado, 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature (you can do one, or all!). This is great over rice, as a taco topper, couscous, with sour cream on chili, quinoa (keen-wa), nachos...just about anything!
