Fridays Favorite - Fresh & Fab Salsa

This is a staple in our home, I pretty much make it weekly. Once you do have it going back to any of the store bought salsas will not even be an option...trust me on this one.



Fresh & Fab Salsa
Makes about 6 cups

10 tomatoes, cored and chopped 
(If fresh tomatoes are $ or not ripe you can sub in 3 - 14.5 oz cans of chopped tomatoes with juice)
1 - 4.5 oz can chopped green chilies
2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
2 jalapenos, cored, seeded, and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4/ C. olive oil
3/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
Juice of 1 lemon
3 t. cumin
2 t. salt
1 t. pepper
1 t. red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients...that simple!


Doesn't it look beautiful, fresh, and tasty?? It will last in the fridge for 5 days and I think it just gets better with the ingredients blending more and more.  Keep in mind it does make quite a bit, no need to double it like my brother did when I first gave him the recipe. 

Another weekend already, crazy how fast the weeks are going lately! Hope you enjoy yours and that you have a bit of spice in it. Mel xo
