Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This is a Mexican-style sauce. The sauce is definitely served cold and makes a great contrast to warm fish. You can also do this with chicken if you prefer.

Servings: You can eat up to 1 cup. If you do, you will have to subtract the amount of fruit you eat from your dessert fruit portion. Same with the peppers as a deduction from your veggies.

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup minced onion. I prefer red onion, but you can also use shallots or any other onion.
• 3 cloves of minced garlic (jar garlic is fine but fresh will taste brighter)
• 1 jalapeno pepper minced or to taste. This makes a fairly mild salsa so you can add extra jalapeno if you want.
• 1 cup diced tomato (I used cherry tomatoes and cut them in quarters.)
• Juice of one orange
• 2 cups of diced bell peppers. I use a combo of red, yellow and orange. They are mild. If you use green pepper you significantly change the taste of the salsa.

Instructions:

Put all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Let the salsa sit in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes to combine the flavors. The longer the sits the more the jalapeno will heighten the flavor intensity.

Serve cold over hot grilled protein for best result.  Both fish and chicken will work.  This is great on a hot day.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
