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!

This sounds so yummy. I’m growing my tomatoes, peppers and onions and plan to use them for a salsa like this. I added your blog to mine to share your journey and tips with my readers.

That is a great idea to use celery sticks rather than chips - hadn’t thought of that before. Thanks for the idea! :)
