While training for mountain climbing, sometime I’ve wanted something to snack on. Since none of the Mexican stores around Jackson sell their good salsa, the only option is the mass-production stuff at Albertsons and Smiths. It’s okay but not nearly as good as from Northgate or Otay Farms in San Diego. To get around this problem, I found and modified a recipe to make it taste like home. Prices are in Jackson, WY costs…

- 2 ripe avocados (not too ripe though) ($2.50)
- Juice of 4 lemons (keeps avocado green but makes it lemony) ($2.36)
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (89¢)
- 2-3 large serrano peppers (4 would be better) (19¢)
- 3 tomatillos (74¢)
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed (59¢)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
Chop avocados, put in blender, blend until creamy. This makes ~3 cups of salsa.
Cost: $7.27 (minus olive oil, cumin, salt)
