pickled okra salsa

A friend who knows I'm an okra pickling fiend just sent this to me (from Jan 2010 Southern Living Magazine) and I'm super stoked to try it!

Pickled Okra Salsa

5 whole pickled okra, sliced

1/2 cup chopped sweet onion

4 tsp chopped fresh cilantro

1 tsp fresh lime juice

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp. ground pepper

1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, drained

Pulse first 6 ingredients and half of tomatoes in a food processor 4 to 6 times or until thoroughly combined. Stir in remaining diced tomatoes. Serve immediately, or cover and chill. Store in refrigerator for up to 7 days. If refrigerated, let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

Makes 1 1/2 cups. Prep time: 10 min.
