Shamrock Chips
Spinach flatbread
Canola oil
Sea salt
Using a metal shamrock-shaped cookie cutter, cut each flatbread into shamrocks.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Coat a baking sheet with a very light layer of canola oil. Place the shamrock-shaped flatbreads onto the baking sheet. Baste the top of each shamrock with a very light layer of oil or water. Coat the top with a light sprinkle of sea salt. Bake the shamrock chips until lightly browned around the edges; approximately 5-7 minutes. Let them cool before serving with salsa.
Lucky Salsa
1 cup diced orange or yellow tomatoes (heirloom or the golden minis)
½ cup finely chopped Vidalia onions
½ cup orange or yellow bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, fresh
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Stir together the diced tomatoes, finely chopped Vidalia onions, the diced peppers, the chopped fresh cilantro and the minced garlic. Set aside.
Note: You can also pulse the ingredients together in a mini chopper or food processor.
