This is a great salsa for any occasion. Use in burritos, tacos or with your favorite tortilla chips. It's really easy and tastes great!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups seeded, chopped tomatoes (6-7 medium tomatoes)
  • the leaves from one bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped*
  • 6 cloves fresh chopped garlic
  • 1/2 an onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • about 1 tablespoon lime juice

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.

*If you grab a handful of leaves from the top of the bunch and pull them out firmly, you will get mostly leaves. If a few stems are in there, it's okay.
