allium free fresh salsa

I have an annoying intolerance/allergy to the allium family.  Allium family encompasses all garlic & onions.  This makes eating out difficult.  I usually end up with a horrible belly-ache even though the meal was divine.  So, I have become very creative in my own kitchen to make my favorite meals allium free.  This has made me a fly by the seat of my pants kinda cook as I need to get creative with recipes.  I don't measure out anything, which totally freaks out my Mother.  Ha.  So I apologize now for no exact recipes for ya.

Dinner is served!! Ole! 
Since the fresh ingredients were at my finger tips at the farmer's market, I made salsa!  I gathered up the following:
Cilantro
Green Zebra Tomatoes
Radishes
Tomatillos
Zucchini
& from the kitchen I had limes, kosher salt, and a smidgen of cumin.

Freshest of the fresh from my favorite farms.
First I roasted the tomatillo's for maximum flavor.  Intense flavors are needed when life is sans onion & garlic.  
While those roast... time to chop up everything else!  I like my salsa semi-chunky. 
Put all chopped ingredients into bowl add lime salt & cumin to your taste.  
Then either use a hand chopper or blender to mash up the roasted tomatillo's.  
Add to bowl & grab the chips!

Belly-ache free salsa = Heaven to me!
