Simple Salsa

MissJennifer's Note:

There are tons of salsas out there, but I haven't found one exactly like mine. (Similar to pico de gallo I guess.) Do yourself a favor and find authentic Mexican chips from a local restaurant to go with this! Can't beat the taste. :) Can spice this up if you want, I do this for my bf, just add some cayenne to the mix! I love this so much I can eat half the bowl in one sitting!!

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 -2 tablespoon cilantro
• salt & pepper (I use garlic pepper salt as well as salt to taste, but you can use salt, pepper, and garlic powder i)

Directions:

1. Wash and dice tomatoes, peel and cut onion, peel and mince garlic or do what I do and use the already minced onion(1 tsp.)!
2. In a small bowl combine garlic, onion and tomatoes with cilantro, salt, and pepper (or garlic pepper salt). Stir with a spoon and mash a little, this will make it juicy, and as it sits it'll get juicer.
3. Enjoy with chips or add to entrees for flavor/side dip!

Quick and delicious. I used a vidalia onion(yum); diced the onion quite small; minced the garlic very fine (to circulate the flavor); used two tablespoons of cilantro. When in a hurry and even when not, you will love this recipe.

This was so delicious. I was making Chicken Fajita Pizza (30021) and wanted a salsa that would be really good. This was excellent. I also used the pre-minced garlic. Also, I never seem to have fresh cilantro, but I use dried cilantro leaves, so I only used one tablespoon. Also, for the garlic salt I used Lawry's garlic salt...that is the best for good garlic salt flavor. Great recipe!!!

I made this as directed for another recipe I was making which needed salsa. This came out just superb - it was quick and easy to prepare with ingredients you almost always have on hand. I will indeed use this recipe again for a quick and easy replacement to store bought salsa. Thanks for posting!
