Fresh Salsa

Our garden is being good to us this year, and we're enjoying all kinds of produce.  I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I love this recipe!  It's pretty easy.

5 Roma tomatoes, peeled (other types of tomatoes work too)

5 green onions

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Juice of 1/2 lime
4 small garlic cloves

1 tsp. hot pepper sauce (optional)

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 tsp. salt

You can vary the amounts of the ingredients according to your tastes.  I used more tomatoes this time because mine were really small.

If you cut the tops off of the tomatoes and put them in boiling water for a minute or two, the skins will split and you can peel them right off after they cool a bit.

Cut the veggies up and put everything in your food processor and turn it on.  If you like a chunkier salsa, you can chop them up yourself instead of using a food processor.

Get yourself a bag of tortilla chips, and you're all set!

It doesn't make too much, but it doesn't keep too long either, so I don't make a lot at one time.  I've doubled it before, though, and that works fine too.  Yummy!
