Simple salsa without the dreaded weed, Cilantro. Raw onions are a migraine trigger for me so I "sweat" the onions to convert to a product I can enjoy (what makes you cry gives me a heck of a headache). I've also roasted the tomatoes with the peppers and garlic for a different flavor. The addition of ripe mango can make a very refreshing version of this recipe. I have also pureed the peels and added them in for the extra nutritional kick.
