Meatless Monday Fresh Salsa
Fresh Salsa
Thank you to all who left such sweet comments about the western tale. I adore you all! We have had an abundance of fresh tomatoes at our house, I love it!! I’ve been making sauces, freezing tomatoes and making this yummy fresh salsa too. Enjoy.
What You Need
2-3 Medium sized fresh tomatoes (from 1 lb to 1 1/2 lb)( stems removed,chopped)
1/2 Bermuda ( red) onion ( chopped)
1 Clove garlic ( chopped)
1 Jalapeño chili pepper (stems, ribs, seeds removed, finely chopped) You can use canned if you prefer
1 Serano chili pepper (stems, ribs, seeds removed, finely chopped) You can use canned if you prefer
1 Lime ( juice only)
1/2 Cup Fresh cilantro ( chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste
Medium mixing bowl
Small Plate
Before you start: Prepare the chilies, be very careful while handling hot peppers.Avoid touching them with your hands (I wear thin latex cooking gloves). Use a knife and fork to cut up the chilies on a small plate.Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers ( If the salsa isn’t hot enough, you can add a few more later)
Let’s make it! Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix well. Try a little bit. If the chilies make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If it’s not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilies. Cover and place the bowl into the refrigerator for at least an hour for the flavors to marinate.
Makes approximately 3-4 cups.

Yummy, I love fresh salsa.
we do too. I can’t over indulge though, giggle, although it is easy to do.
Nothing beats fresh salsa!
fresh from the garden there’s no better way to make it.
Only fitting with all the tomatoes coming out of your garden that salsa is on the menu. I love good salsa and corn chips. It was a little rainy this weekend so after checking in on my youngest daughter Rachel, who was in the car accident, and wishing her a happy 27th B/D, then a quick stop to wish my Aunt Katie a happy 103rd B/D it was home to finish my school work. It was a really good feeling when I had done all that I could that was available on line. Now I can breathe easy for a while. Hope you are feeling well & rested as you read this. Have a wonderful week.
Big Hugs,
Odie
I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. With all that has been going on. I send love and hugs to you all.
I could eat this every day of the year and never tire of it, Katie! Thank you and have a wonderful week!
me too I would have constant garlic breath, LOL
It has been some time since I have made fresh Salsa…not since I lived in Texas. You make it just the way I did minus the chili peppers…it is an excellent snack! ~Hugs, M
