We love fresh salsa! Stephen and I eat so much salsa. It is really simple to make!.. Fresh ingredients are the best. I use 2 regular sized cans of petite diced canned tomatoes (at least until summer, then fresh all the way)! I have found that the brand of tomatoes you use makes a huge difference in the taste of your salsa. I certainly have a favorite! If you like a less chunky salsa, put the tomatoes in a food processor and pulse a few times. I very carefully dice up one jalapeno pepper, (discard the seeds, these are lethal if you happen to get any juice near your face!I use rubber gloves when dicing these.). I made this pictured salsa very quickly one evening. My dices are not all the same size.. oh well.. didn't damage the taste at all! Now, I dice some green onions, you can use a regular onion if you so choose. I also use some of the chive part of the onion as well. We love garlic, so at least 2-3 cloves, diced fine go in the mix. Next, chop up some fresh cilantro (I do not use any dried cilantro, only fresh). Slice a lemon or lime, your choice, and squeeze the juice into your bowl. I also use about 1 teaspoon of cummin to my salsa and sea salt/kosher salt. My secret weapon: 1 tablespoon of Simply Salsa mix from Tastefully Simple.com. My friend Lori S. is a consultant for this company.. They have great stuff! If you are interested let me know and maybe we could schedule a tasting party for these products! I don't think I have left any ingredients out. I am always experimenting and adding new ingredients to my recipes! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! Mary C.
