Fresh From The Garden Salsa

I love making salsa fresh from the garden this time of year. The flavors of the fresh tomatoes, onions, spices, and peppers are fabulous!

My brother in law makes the best salsa ever, so I talked him into giving me his super secret recipe. He says he doesn’t have an exact recipe, he just chops, dumps, and tastes until the flavors are just right (He cooks kinda like I do). If you use this recipe, make sure you tweak it a little to fit your own tastes. My brother in law uses a ton of garlic, and I love garlic so it’s OK with me. If you’re not a fan you may want to cut back a little.

Fresh From The Garden Salsa

3-4 medium tomatoes

1 bell pepper

1 banana pepper

2 hot peppers (Jalapeno, Pueblo, Habanera, your choice and heat)

1-2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

3-4 cloves of garlic

cilantro (optional)

1 small onion

Give everything a coarse chop, then feed it all together into a food processor. Refrigerate the salsa when you’re done to let all the flavors blend together. This salsa is actually even better after a couple hours when the flavors are all melded together.

Serve with corn chips.

Beware! This salsa is addicting, once you start, it’s hard to stop.
