This fresh salsa tastes the best during the summer time when the Plum or Roma tomatoes are ripe and juicy, but not mushy. I adjust the amount of cilantro and jalapeno I use according to the friends attending the gathering. The spicier the better. Fresh cilantro is a must. You can add salt and pepper if you like but I have found that with all of the fresh flavors of the ingredients, it is not necessary.
This is a fantastic, healthy, and hearty salad -- especially during the summer months, as it can be served warm, room temperature, or cold.
A new spin on potatoes...I know we have several potato lovers out there, but who needs the extra calories and fat from butter and sour cream? This is an easy side and it tastes great without all the stuff you don't need.
Cooking skill: medium/easy
Time required: 4 hours for marination, 60 to prep and cook.

One of the best things about summer is the fresh vegetables that you can get at a farmers market or your own garden (or if you're lucky like I am, a neighbor's garden). Grilling really brings out the flavor of the corn and zucchini, and it's so easy to do.
The other great thing about summer is the herbs. You can use any combination you like. I used basil, cilantro, oregano and lavender, but use what's available and what you like.
This is a really easy salad to make, the prep work just takes some time but it's really worth it.
