My son & daughter-in-law brought over some of their garden tomatoes, peppers, spaghetti squash & yellow squash a few days ago and they were all gorgeous! Their garden is sure doing a lot better than mine this year. I decided to make some homemade salsa and it turned out delicious. This is my daughter-in-law, Jeni's, foolproof recipe! It is always a hit whenever she makes it. Also, for quick and easy, I made some refried beans to go with it. I made the refried beans from Fantastic World Foods and added 1 tablespoon of my garden salsa & 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice. I served it up with some whole grain corn chips. YUMMY!
Fresh Garden Salsa
Printable Recipe
1/4 large white onion
1/4 bell pepper
1-2 cloves of garlic
1/2 lime (You can add the flesh of the lime or just the juice)
1 hot pepper - i.e. Jalapeno or Serrano (you can add whole or half or a combination)
2-3 sprigs of cilantro (you can also use dry cilantro. About 1/2-1 tsp.)
5 Roma tomatoes
1 tsp. salt
combine first 6 ingredients in a blender/chopper until chopped finely. Set aside in a bowl. (I do this to ensure the peppers and onions are chopped finely so you don't get a whole mouthful of onion or pepper.) Chop tomatoes and salt in blender/chopper. Combine onion/pepper mixture with tomato mixture. Mix and serve!! (Sometimes it is better to make in advance to allow the flavors to meld together for a couple of hours.)
