Salsa

You could go to the store and buy a jar of salsa, but why in the world would you if you can make it fresh at home!  This is a fantastic recipe that I got from my friend Candice.  It is so fresh and delicious. This does make a lot, so feel free to cut the recipe in half. Give it a try!

Recipe:

8-10 roma tomatoes
3 large garlic cloves-minced
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 med red onion-minced
2-3 jalapenos ( adjust for your own taste )
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (1 lime should do it )
                                                                                     salt and pepper to taste
Method:
I like to cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze out the juice and seeds. You don't have to, but I find that it is just too juicy if you don't.  Dice the tomatoes and put them in a bowl. Mince the garlic, cilantro,  onion,  and jalapeno. Add this to the tomatoes. Add the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Mix and refrigerate.
This is great with tortilla chips or with toasted baguette. It can also be used as a side to go with tacos or fajitas.
