Homemade Fresh Salsa

I love fresh tomatoes. Somehow tomatoes from a garden are about a million times more delicious than even the best store bought ones.

A week or two ago I mentioned that we brought home a lot of tomatoes. Sad to say - those tomatoes started to go down hill fast and I needed to do something with them before they spoiled!

Answer: Homemade Salsa, its yummy, easy and makes the best use of the tomatoes strong flavor.

Ingredients:
10 tomatoes- finely chopped
1 onion, red or yellow- finely diced
3 garlic cloves minced
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo chopped fine
1 lime, zest and juice
1-2 T oil
salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder
avocado

1. Mix together the tomatoes, onion, garlic and chipotles. Season to your taste. Add a little oil and the lime. It will be good in the fridge for like a week like this.
2. Whenever we go to eat a bowl of eat i cut up half an avocado and put it in with the salsa. It makes for a really yummy guacamole-salsa combo that means all the flavor- half the bowls!

hint: it wouldn't hurt to throw a little cilantro in there! but I'd do that day of too.
