Artichoke Salsa

Spring must be coming. I'm craving salsas and salads, but my back yard garden is still under a pile of snow.  What's a gardener to do?

Pantry items to the rescue!
I created this recipe from items in my pantry and veggie drawer.
Not bad for a February impromptu dinner. . .

Enjoy this spooned liberally over a grilled tuna steak or chicken breast.
