Submitted by: BILLIEBUNNY19

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    2 medium Tomatoes
    1 cup Onions
    6 Garlic clove
    1 lime
    2 tbsp Cilantro

Chop onions, garlic, pepper, and tomatos. Combine in a bowl that is refridgerator safe. Add fresh cilantro, salt, and lime to taste.

Refridgerate over night and voila! Delicious, fresh, healthy homemade salsa!

    A good idea (from those of us who were raised with mexican food and yummy salsa)...seed the tomatoes...your salsa will be less bitter that way - 8/22/07

    An added 1/4 tsp. crushed cumin seed and some fresh cracked black pepper brings it closer to what I'm used to in my salsa...I use a chopped, seeded jalapeno for the "chili peppers" and a bit of freshly ground chili powder...I love the "fresh" ingredients route... - 2/10/08

    I've always used canned, organic, fire-roasted tomatoes and I throw everything in a blender which eliminates chopping. When home-grown tomatoes become available I'll definitely try. I like the idea of having a chunkier, fresh salsa - acutually it looks more like pico.

    Try chopped jalapeno pepper instead of the green chili pepper.
    Add the juice of 1 lime and a couple of dashes of pepper.

    Delicious made from veggies fresh from the garden!

    We also add black beans and corn sometimes to change things up. Yummy... - 8/5/11

    I have been making something similar to this for years...My ex who is a professional chef taught me how to make it. I use red onions and 1/2 jalapeno without the seeds for a milder blend. Warning: The longer this salsa sits, the spicier it becomes and the garlic/onion/cilantro becomes more dominant - 4/9/11
