"elmer's" Summertime Sweet Onion Salsa

TeresaS's Note:

Picked up this recipe at a local "Elmer's" restaurant. It sounds so good and easy to prepare. They were giving out the recipe free so I guess it's OK to post here. I haven't tried it yet, but the card said: It takes only minutes to produce the best-tasting summer salsa ready for dipping, topping, and summertime fun. Cooking time includes standing time.

• 1 jalapeno , seeds and ribs removed, minced
• 2 green onions , including green tops, cut into thin slices
• ¾ cup onion , sweet Walla Walla, diced (I think any sweet onion would work)

Made this just today & am expecting enough of it to still be around for the final celebration fling at the end of the year! But, whether it does or not, I can definitely say that it's one very, very nice tasting salsa & one I'd make again & again during the year! I was fortunate in being able to find some organic plum tomatoes! A very nice keeper recipe! [Tagged & made in the PRMR Holiday Special as a recipe review reward]
