Fresh Salsa

I love fresh salsa, and can eat it daily in peak tomato season!

It is wonderful with chips, on tacos & burritos of course, but it is also great on eggs, on white fish or grilled chicken, in a wrap with eggplant dip, on roasted eggplant, on rice, etc. So many tasty ways to enjoy!

3 slicing tomatoes, preferably different colors, cored and chopped

1 clove garlic or 1/4 cup onion, minced

1 handful cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeno or other hot pepper, de-seeded and minced (optional) * For more spice, leave seeds in!

1 tbsp. lime juice

1/4 - 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Optional other veg. - diced sweet or green pepper, corn off the cob, halved cherry tomatoes, black beans, etc.

sea salt to taste

Mix all together. Taste. Adjust seasonings as needed. You can leave it this texture or squeeze it with your hands a bit to make it more like a sauce. If you do this, I would suggest adding the hot pepper after squeezing!
