This coarse textured salsa is more of a relish or Pico de Gallo. The ingredients can be finely diced or use a medium for chunky salsa. Serve with traditional tortilla chips or use as a side dish with grilled meat, squash cakes (see Summer Squash) or anywhere you want a bright, tart, savory accompaniment.

Ingredients

    2 large ripe, red slicing tomatoes, cored and chopped
    1 small white onion, chopped
    1 green onion, top included, chopped
    1 to 3 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
    1/4 cup cilantro leaves, minced
    Juice of lime
    1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

    Using a serrated knife, chop tomatoes. If using plum tomatoes, add 2 tablespoons water. In a medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro.
    Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle on the salt. Allow to rest 30 minutes before serving to allow salt to draw juice from the tomatoes. Stir again just before serving.
