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
-
Blanche and peel tomatoes. Remove core, chop, remove seeds. Drain in colander after cutting to reduce amount of juice.
-
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.
-
Use food processor or chopper to make processing of the veggies finer and easier. Add all above ingredients until desired consistency.
-
Add juice of 1 lime. Add salt and cilantro to taste.
-
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.
-
Serve with tortilla chips.
