Salsa

My boys are big fans of salsa, so I love making it for them. Of course, the big guy likes it much spicier than the other two. ( he can add extra jalapeño to his)  We like lots of color and nice size chunks. 

5-6 medium tomatoes, cubed
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 mild peppers, chopped  ( yellow, red, or orange)
1 jalapeño (chopped) your choice with or without seeds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
2 TBSP lime juice
3 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP sugar
5  basil leaves ( to taste) chopped
1/2 c cilantro (to taste) chopped

After chopping the tomatoes, drain in a colander while chopping other veggies. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  You may need to adjust the lime juice and/or sugar. 


Serve with chips!  Also great with quesadilla. 

This will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
