So what have I been doing during quarantine? Planting roses and perfecting this pickled veggie salsa recipe. I’ve gone through so many batches coming up with something I love, and I’m honestly not mad about being a guinea pig. ? I got some inspiration when I saw a friend post on insta and then decided I’d figure out how to make it a “salsa”.
Because of my Hashimotos I limit the amount of tomatoes I eat, but I love a fresh salsa to go with my corn chips! (Corn doesn’t flair my autoimmune symptoms! YAY!). So I love using this as a topping for tacos, as a dip, or heck, to just eat by itself when I’m snack-hiding from my two kids. (You know we’ve all done it.) So I decided that I’d share because I can’t be the only one that would love this!
Notes: I chop these up as small as possible to help them get on the chips. When you serve, use a slotted spoon so that a lot of the vinegar falls out (don’t want a soggy plate).

½ teaspoon salt
