I don't know about you, but our garden is beginning to really come alive! Tomatoes and peppers are in a race to out-grow each other! So.... I thought a fresh tomato salsa was in order for a lovely afternoon snack on the patio!
Here is what I had on hand - freshly picked tomatoes, sweet banana peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, lime, salt and (not pictured) half a sweet Walla Walla onion.
This is what the finished salsa looks like!
Add that to a bowl of chips and you have your sunny afternoon snack!
For those of you who would like to know the quantities I used:
Fresh Tomato Salsa
2 medium tomatoes and a handful of yellow cherry tomatoes, chopped
half a sweet Walla Walla onion, chopped
appx 5 Tablespoons fresh Cilantro, chopped
1 small Jalapeno pepper seeded and finely chopped
1 sweet banana pepper seeded and chopped
juice of one lime
appx 1 teaspoon coarse salt
Mix everything together - add or subtract quantities per your taste, let sit in fridge for about 15 minutes or more and serve with your favorite tortilla chips!

Gosh if I hadn't just eaten homemade blueberry pancakes I'd be over with a spoon! Thanks for sharing.
It's just now dinner time on the East coast and I haven't eaten yet. I was hungry, now I'm STARVING. Nothing better that homemade salsa!
Can you say yummy! wish I was sitting on your porch eating some fresh salsa, looking at your lovely gardens. My garden has produced very little this year. some years are better than others.
Oh, my goodness!! Need some homemade flour tortillas to go with those and you'd be set for a feast. Looks wonderful.
What a lovely snack and all from your garden! Great! I've got a bag of windfall apples and pears to do something with at the moment.
Thank you for the recipe, Candace! Your garden veggies must taste amazing in this salsa. Very fresh and very tasty!
Looks like the start to a party!
Yummy! You just can't go wrong with home-made salsa *s*
Sounds delicious!
That looks yummy and I'm sure it's really good just cuz it's so fresh! And organic too....
Yum! I love fresh salsa!
Yum!
Yummy!! I can smell it from here!! Looks so good. Too bad I'm the only one in my home that loves cilantro. I can eat it by itself!
I would love your recipe for sweet zucchini relish-thanks for sharing.
I am really enjoying your trip pictures. We went to Lake Louise in Baniff last year and would love to go back again.
