Homemade Salsa

Homemade Salsa

Most of this is just to your own taste so actual measurements on the items are not listed. But the basic layout is as follows... 

 Approx 4-5 firm tomatoes 

approx 1/4 - 1/2 of a white onion 

1 clove of garlic (you need a med size one or just use less than a whole one) 

some cilantro leaves 

salt 

optional: jalapeno pepper 

optional: lemon juice or lime juice 

 Cut your tomatoes into chunks and add to a bowl. Dice your onion to your preferred size... add to the bowl Chop your garlic clove as fine as you can chop it... add to the bowl tear off some cilantro leaves... I usually use about 14 leaves (the entire leaf not just part of it) ... add to the bowl add some salt to taste optional - jalapeno peppers (if you don't want it to be hot... don't put the seeds of the pepper into the salsa... just use the meat of the pepper.)... (if you opt for lemon juice or lime juice add it now too... just a little...) put it in the fridge and let it sit overnight .... serve it with nachos, tacos or any other Mexican dish and don't forget the sour cream! YUMMY! This can stay in the fridge for approx 5-7 days.
