Tomato Free Salsa

Let’s keep this simple! I love salsa, but consuming tomatoes make my feet so sore I can barely walk, and they put our little girl into tears for the same thing, sore feet. It hasn’t always been this way, yet it has intensified over time. Although, sometimes we can tolerate marinara sauce like in the form of pizza sauce.

It’s weird, I know. I’m done trying to figure it out, and I’m done feeling sorry for myself over food allergies and intolerances. I feel empowered and inspired by creating dishes that our whole family can eat. I love how we’ve unlocked what makes our bodies feel GOOD!

When it comes to quick dishes like this, that aren’t needing a certain sort of science and careful measurements to bake properly, I imagine my great-great-grandmothers just tossed foods together and didn’t think twice about measuring them. So that’s what I like to do too, a little of this, a little of that. Taste, adjust, repeat until it’s how you want it.

God created this one today, as my hands grabbed things and combined them that I never would’ve thought could go together.

Note that I diced each ingredient into tiny pieces, like super tiny. I first cut them into smaller chunks with a knife, then tossed them into my food chopper. If you don’t have a food chopper, no biggie, just keep chopping with your knife.

Homemakers, this is satisfying stuff. Grabbing different foods that came from the Earth and combining them into something edible can be such a beautiful art if you let it.

Alright, let’s get to it:

I started with carrots. I wasn’t sure if I would cook them first since they’re so firm, but I decided that if I cut them small enough they didn’t need the extra step of being cooked.

Then I added the handful of pineapple tidbits the kids had leftover from lunch, an onion, and diced green peppers from the freezer.

That’s it. No measurements, just work with it and taste it until you love it. I’m enjoying this right now with tortilla chips, but this could also be sprinkled over a salad, a bowl of rice, or scrambled/fried eggs.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
