super easy and quick salsa

I have been asked by more than one person for my salsa recipe.
I can post the backbone of the recipe that way y'all can adjust it to how you like.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped (I used 2 cans whole or chopped tomatoes, drained)
  • 1 small green chile (seedless for mild to medium hotness and with seeds for medium to very hot salsa)
  • 4 green onions (I like to use more)
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled (again, I like to use more)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves (or a heaping handful if you're me...)
  • salt and pepper to taste
put it all in the blender, and chop it up.
chill in fridge for about an hour before serving. 


Now you have your own homemade salsa! (so easy!!)
