Yummy Salsa
Ingredients
Red Ripe Tomatoes, 8 plum tomato
Onions, raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia)
Jalapeno Peppers, 2.5 pepper
Cilantro, raw, 10 tbsp
Lime Juice, 8 wedge yields
Directions
Slice - dice and cut everything into cube's. Take
the seeds out of the peppers before you begin choppng them - or if you
want more spice - leave the seeds in or add more peppers. Cilantro I
actually add more than 10 tblspns but the option was only table spoon -
I add a handful of it, so maybe a half a cup of chopped cilantro fresh
- just the leaves. The juice of two limes should be squeezed in at the very end - mix and then chill. For a fast cooling snack or meal I add cold chicken breast to this to make a chicken salsa salad. Serves 1
