Fresh Salsa

Lately, I have been trying to cook more organically. I have been reading up a lot on the health benefits, so I decided to give it a try. Plus it gives me an excuse to go to Whole Foods Market, and I love that store (except for the prices). While I was there the other day, I came across some gorgeous fresh salsa. I reached for the small container, only to quickly whip my hand back. Eight dollars for salsa? I think not!!! So I went on the Whole Foods website and found the recipe. I made this tonight, and while it still needs to "release the flavorful juices" in the fridge for the next couple hours, it tastes delicious so far.

I am a wimp when it comes to anything too spicy, so while the recipe recommended the use of 2 jalepeno or serrano peppers, I only used one jalapeno (the lesser of the two evils). I also took out all the seeds and the core.

Fresh Salsa

2 cups Roma tomatoes, chopped (I cut out the seeds and pulp)
1/3 cup chopped onion (I used white)
1 minced jalapeno (cut out the core and seeds)
2 tbsp. lime juice (about one lime)
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
salt to taste

Put all ingredients into a bowl, toss well and serve chilled.
