Fresh Salsa *uncooked and juicy*
3 vine ripened tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 small (about 1/2") jalepeno, seeded and finely chopped *wear gloves!!*
1/2 c. red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp. lime juice
plenty of salt
Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl (because plastic and metal both leave flavors in the salsa) and refrigerate for atleast 30 mins to let the flavors mingle. It gets really juicy before long but I like that.
*It is very important to get fresh cilantro for this. Since you are buying it, you might as well buy a lot of tomatoes and just like quadruple this recipe ;) That being said, you need to make sure you are getting good tomatoes. Rubbish tomatoes that come out in the winter will not do.. unless you manage to find some really good hydroponic ones or something. (Expensive) It just depends on how badly you want salsa. Also! The jalepeno must be fresh. They are cheap and you only have to buy one tiny one. But you really need to have gloves for chopping it up! Seriously. I thought, oh it's just a jalepeno, those aren't even that hot. But I regretted it later when my hands were burning and nothing made it go away. I tried milk, baking soda, lotion, aloe vera, soda.. I dipped my hands in just about everything to make it go away. It sucked a lot. So take it from me and buy some gloves!
