Fresh Homemade Salsa



Mmmm fresh salsa! I LOVE fresh salsa! I have been making it since I was probably 10 years old, so I have had some time to perfect this recipe. Just be sure if you don't like hot foods to use peppers accordingly or omit them. This is also wonderful served with homemade chips if you have the time to make them =). Enjoy this simple and delicious recipe!



Fresh Salsa
Yields 4 cups

Ingredients:
5 Roma tomatos
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with green chilis, undrained
2 green onions
3 Tbsp yellow onion or red onion
2 serrano peppers, stems removed (use less or omit if you don't like spicy foods)
1/3 cup fresh cilantro (about a handful)
1 clove garlic
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and chop until all ingredients are finely chopped. Alternately, if you don't have a food processor finely chop veggies then pour into a mixing bowl, add canned tomatos, lime juice, chili powder, cumin and season with salt and pepper to taste and stir. Serve with tortilla chips. Store in refrigerator up to 1 week.
