Garden Salsa

Not sure how your garden is doing this summer or even if you have a garden. But if you have access to some wonderful fresh veggies you should really make some salsa. I am actually going to make this one when I am done writing this morning.  It’s rainy out and I picked some Roma tomatoes, a couple of green peppers and a bunch of jalapeno’s oh and my garlic is ready and the best I have ever grown so it kind of screams SALSA.

While there is quite a bit of chopping to do. Throw on some music or one of your favorite shows and make it happen. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Seed them so your salsa doesn’t get too wet

keep the tomato and green pepper roughly the same size –  everything else smaller

quick and easy garden salsa, everyone will love

Ingredients
  

  • roma tomatoes; seeded and chopped
  • green peppers; seeded and chopped
  • yellow onion; peeled and diced
  • jalapeno; seeded and diced
  • garlic cloves; chopped fine
  • kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • balsamic vinegar - a dash or two
  • 1-2 packets of sweet and low

Instructions
 

  • the amounts you use for each ingredient is totally up to you. I will give you an approximate ratio so it will be well balanced.
  • 12 roma tomatoes, 2 green peppers, 4 jalapeno, 6 garlic and 2 onions seemed to make a nice amount of salsa and the ratio seemed to work out nicely
  • adjust for how you like your salsa. want it hotter add more jalapeno or leave the seeds and veins in them.
  • add the sweet and low and a few dashes of the balsamic vinegar
  • finish it off with a little salt and pepper to taste

Notes

the sweet and low may sound a little odd but even that little amount brings a brightness to the salsa. I would suggest trying it without it and then add it and you will see.
