Easy Salsa Recipe! Tired of store bought and want an easy recipe? This is THE one! Ingredients: 6 tomatoes 3 jalapenos (warning: hot - use less for milder) 1 medium white onion ½ a medium red onion 1 cup cilantro (I’m a fiend- so a little less if you aren’t) 5 cloves garlic 3 limes juice (hell, I even threw in some of the pulp) 1 tbsp cumin 1 tsp sea salt (More can always be added but not taken away!) 1 tsp chili powder For chunky salsa, chop everything up, stir together, and refrigerate. For less chunky, a pulse or two in a food processor will do the trick. Optional/Seasonal: 1 cup (2-3 ears) of grilled/pan fried corn. If pan frying it, try putting in 3 tbsps of pineapple juice and 2 tbsp EVOO. Since you are using pans now, I would probably add the garlic, salt, ½ the cilantro, cumin and chili powder now. Sweeten it up with some diced fruit of your choice- pineapple, mango, peach etc. https://www.instagram.com/p/COJVG8LD48X/?igshid=1tgso1xxrum8d
