Fresh Tomato Salsa

Sandy One's Note:

Every summer(and winter too) my co-worker ask for me to bring this in for a snack. A friend of mine once took it to the local Farmers Market as a way of selling her produce. One man offered to buy the whole gallon container just to take home!

Directions:

1. Chop all vegetables.

My family loved this salsa. I used tomatoes from our garden.
