The fresher the ingredients the better the salsa
Fresh salsa, made right in your own kitchen, is always a crowd-pleaser. Using a sharp knife and ingredients from your garden, a farmers' market or your local grocer, make this amazingly fresh and simple salsa recipe, and wow your guests at your next barbecue or Mexican dinner. Leftovers are perfect for snacking in front of the TV.
Instructions
1. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and transfer to a glass mixing bowl. Using glass, which is non-reactive, will ensure that the flavors stay as fresh as possible.
2. Chop the onion into very small pieces and add to the tomatoes.
3. Remove the seeds and chop the jalapeno pepper. Add it to the tomatoes. You can control the "heat" of the salsa by adding more or less of this ingredient.
4. Peel and mince one garlic clove and add to the other ingredients.
5. Measure and add the olive oil, cumin, lime juice and salt.
6. Gently stir the ingredients together and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight, allowing the flavors to "marry." Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
