Fresh Homemade Salsa

I love fresh salsa, especially during the summer. I like buy fresh salsa and some good corn chips and eat them as a snack or appetizer. They are great. And you can't go wrong with fresh. Every year, I can my own salsa, and I really enjoy making it... but I had never made fresh salsa before. I had been intending to try it out sometime, but I never really ended up doing it. Finally, I decided to do it.

This was the result!

This salsa was so easy to make, I will definitely be doing it again!

It's simple:

3 medium-sized tomatoes, cored and chopped

1/2 an onion, finely chopped

1-2 tbsp cilantro, minced

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

splash of lime juice

salt and pepper

2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

Now, its super easy, put the onion and garlic in a strainer and pour a couple cups of boiling water over them. Let them cool. I like to do this first, so they can cool while I prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Next, combine everything together! Feel free to add some additional spices, or take it to the next level and throw in some of your left over grilled corn! Now the best thing you can do, is leave it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavours develop. 

N.B. When I made this recipe, I was out of jalapeno peppers, so I just threw in a little hot sauce. Also, I used wild garlic. 

Hope you enjoy! Try this recipe out! 

Until next time, Happy Munching!
