This recipe would be good except it calls for 1 clove of garlic then does not specify what to do with the "crushed" clove. It simply does not mention garlic in the directions. It's a terrible oversight. Yes it obviously gets added to the salsa but if it's so obvious why bother with instructions saying to mic everything together? It's the principle that matters.
