How to Make Garden Fresh Salsa

This is the kind of salsa only a gardener can make, but everyone will appreciate. Harvest your ingredients early in the morning for the freshest flavor. Hello summer!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 4 tomatoes, diced
• 1/3 cup of onion, diced
• 1/2 bell pepper, with seeds removed and diced
• 2 Tablespoons or small bunch of cilantro, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic finely minced
• 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, with seeds removed and diced
• 1 Tablespoon of fresh lime juice
• salt and pepper to taste

1. You've already prepped you ingredients. Add the diced vegetables, including the juices, into a bowl.
2. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
3. Serve immediately with chips or store in the refrigerator for no more then 3 days.

Tips & Warnings

• You can replace your jalapeno/serrano chili with a habanero for a fiery salsa. Or, pan roast an anaheim chili (turning it into a chipotle) dice and add to the salsa.
• For a zesty tomotillo salsa, replace 2 of the tomatoes with 4 diced tomotillos.
• Add a bit of chopped oregano for extra flavor.
• Be careful not to touch your eyes anytime you're handling hot peppers (and for several hours after).
