Our garden is delivering a last minute bounty of tomatoes this September as Summer leads into Fall. So I am making salsa!
I always try to have chips and salsa on hand for unexpected ministry meetings or small group. It is a quick and easy snack to serve when people come over.
I love fresh salsa and it tastes even better when the tomatoes are ones you have grown in your own garden. If you don’t garden, pick some up at your local farmers market.
Summer Salsa
4-5 large tomatoes (peeled and seeded if you prefer or not)
1 large Vidalia onion diced small
3-4 T minced garlic
1 large green pepper, diced
1 can of diced green chilis
5 or 6 slices of jalapeno pepper from jar
1 tsp. dry basil (or fresh basil)
1 tsp. cilantro
salt to taste
Chop veggies with food chopper or cut with knife into very small pieces. Mix all ingredients together, refrigerate. Tastes even better the second day. (You may want to adjust amounts for personal taste. If you like it hotter, add more peppers or leave them out if you don’t want the kick.)
