Does anyone have a great salsa recipe?!
Does anyone have a great salsa recipe?
I would like a salsa recipe that isn't too hot. I'm looking for mild to medium. My boyfriend recently had homemade salsa at a friend's house and wants me to try and recreate. He said it was very mild at first and then had a bit of a kick at the end.
I am so bored with the salsas that I have bought at the store. But, if anyone has a suggestion on a wonderful store bought salsa please feel free to share that as well.
Thanks, in advance.

This is more like pico de gallo, but it is excellent.
*Dice 5-8 tomatoes and place into a mixing bowl. (Use garden fresh, on-the-vine ripened tomatoes... go to a veggie market if you have to. THIS IS CRITICAL!!!)
*Dice 1 red onion and add to the bowl.
*Dice 1 jalepeno and add to the bowl (remove the seeds... this makes it hotter!)
*Chop 1/2 cup of cilantro (or more to taste) and add to the bowl.
*Roll a lime with your hand on the counter (this loosens up the juices!). Cut lime in half and squeeze juice into the bowl.
*Mix all the ingredients with a big spoon and place in the refrigerator.
You can control the heat factor with the number of tomatoes and jalepeno peppers that you use. It is really hard to mess this recipe up!
