Fresh Tomato Salsa

(from JenniferGM’s recipe box)

Fresh tomatoes in season are the best! This is just an estimate of numbers, as I double, triple, quadruple the portions, as it goes fast. Jalapenos are to taste.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 ripe tomatoes, size medium to large, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 5 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2-4 cloves garlic, minced fine
  • Cilantro, to taste (I omit)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 lime or lime juice, to taste

Directions

  1. Blanche and peel tomatoes. Remove core, chop, remove seeds. Drain in colander after cutting to reduce amount of juice.

  2. Prepare the jalapenos. Be sure to protect your hands (and eyes). I use gloves when chopping. Taste the jalpeno for heat, as each varies. Remove seeds and chop jalapenos very finely.

  3. Use food processor or chopper to make processing of the veggies finer and easier. Add all above ingredients until desired consistency.

  4. Add juice of 1 lime. Add salt and cilantro to taste.

  5. Chill for 30 minutes or so before serving. Taste again to see if more salt is needed before serving. Some juice may need to be drained.

  6. Serve with tortilla chips.
