Raw Tomato Salsa
Salsa
There is nothing that reminds me more of summer than this home-made salsa. It’s because the rest of the year we just can’t get those really nice tasting fresh ingredients like we can from the local Farmer’s Market! Enjoy!
4 cups chopped tomatoes - (plum are better because they are less juicy, but regular round ones have MUCH more flavor)
3 green onions, stalk and root chopped
1/4 cup each of red onion, green pepper and red pepper chopped
1 garlic clove finely chopped (or pushed in the press)
1-4 jalapeno peppers finely chopped (a note that the HEAT in a jalopeno is in the whtie ribs and seeds inside. wear gloves to chop jalopenos and do not touch your eyes)
1/4 tsp sea salt and ground chili powder
1 tsp olive oil
ground fresh pepper
1 tablespoon of dried cilantro OR (preferably) a small bunch of chopped fresh leaves.
Juice of one lime
Mix it all up. Place in a covered dish and let sit for several hours to season. Serve with flax crackers, or nacho chips, or as a side to grilled chicken breast, or any other way you serve salsa. (on top of omelets?? YUM!)
ANOTHER way to have salsa:
I love to put my fresh salsa on a big green salad, or scoop it up with celery sticks, instead of salad dressing. It adds SO MUCH more wonderful fresh flavor to your chopped veggies!
