Tantalizing Caribbean Salsa in Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is an Eastern Caribbean island nation with a pair of dramatically tapered mountains, the Pitons, on its west coast. Its coast is home to volcanic beaches, reef-diving sites, luxury resorts, fishing villages and Alluring Caribbean Salsa.
Habanero, pineapple and tomato blend together into a delicious mouth-watering homemade Salsa.
Remember to wear your gloves when you are working with the habanero or “Scotch Bonnet” chile.
Do you cry when chopping onions?
I have heard everything from use a fan to blow the fumes away to cutting the onion under running water.
Did you know the tearing is caused by the sulfuric compounds contained in the onion?
Here is a quick tip for you chill the onion for at least 30 minutes before cutting as the compounds in the cold onion will not react as quickly to the air.

To reduce the harshness of a strong onion.
Prepare your onions by slicing or chopping and then place in a bowl of ice water. Soak the onions in the ice water for 60 to 90 minutes. Change the water 2 or 3 times during this time period.
If you are in a hurry place onions in a strainer and rinse under cold running water for at least one minute.
Drain the onions and pat dry with paper towels before using.
