Salsa #3

Image
This really is a recipe that I shoot from the hip. I do not follow anything. If I have More of something it is okay to put more in. If I do not have something like the green chili's or jalapeno, it is okay to make it without. Sometimes I make it with Lemon juice instead of vinegar and lime. You really can change this up each time. Here is the basic recipe we like. 6 Roma tomatoes, diced 1/2 sweet onion, minced 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup fresh cilantro 1 jalapeno pepper, minced 1 can green chili's, drained 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar salt to taste Directions 1.In a bowl, combine all the ingredients, add jalapenos 2 teaspoons at a time, tasting after each addition to see how hot the salsa has become. Jalapeno peppers vary in heat, so it is important to taste the salsa to ensure you do not make it too hot to handle. When working with the jalapeno, you can blanch the pepper in hot boiling
