I just made this homemade Salsa and my family went wild. I got some tomatoes from a co-worker's garden-she couldn't keep up with her harvest-I reaped the reward!!
Easy Salsa:
4 Large ripe tomatoes
1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 juiced lime
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp EVOO(extra virgin olive oil: Rachel Ray style..hehe)
1 tsp salt
2 cloves pressed garlic (or chopped if you don't have a garlic press)
1 small dry red pepper (or about 1 teaspoon of crushed red peppers)
1 jalepeno pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped. (Habenero if you like heat)
Boil some water and drop tomatoes in, them immediately pull them out and put them in a pot of cold water. This will make peeling them easy! Peel the tomatoes, then chop them coarsly and place in a colander in your sink. Let the extra juices and seeds run out(although it will still be a bit juicy with nice ripe tomatoes). In a large bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Add tomatoes last, toss gently to coat. Serve with tortilla chips.
This stuff was good the first day, but awesome the second day!! I can't wait to get more garden tomatoes!!! |
