Homemade Tomato Salsa
The best time to make this recipe is at the height of summer when there are plenty of fresh tomatoes available. This recipe tastes even better the following day after the flavors have a chance to meld together.
Ingredients:
4 medium ripe tomatoes, cored and seeded
2 - 3 cloves garlic, peeled
Juice from 1 fresh lime (about ¼ cup)
1 – 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, stems removed and finely chopped salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cut 3 of the tomatoes into quarters and place in blender or food processor. Add garlic cloves and half the lime juice. Pulse until thoroughly combined.
Dice remaining tomato into evenly sized small pieces. Stir into tomato garlic mixture to create a chunkier texture. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro (adjust according to personal preference).
Add remaining lime and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with your favorite Mexican entrée or by itself with crispy tortilla chips.
