Fresh Salsa

I have been making my own salsa for a few months now. I tested a few recipes until I came up with the perfect combination. My boyfriend LOVES this salsa - we can never keep enough! You can use salsa as a topping on meats, fish, or vegetables. Be careful with the corn chips, as they are high in carbs and sodium...but I know they do taste pretty good with this salsa! One cup of this stuff is equal to one serving of vegetables! EAT UP!

• 5 medium tomatoes
• 2 jalapeno peppers
• 1 hot banana pepper
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 1/3 large spanish onion (or red)
• 1 medium green pepper
• 1 medium sweet red pepper
• juice from 1/2 lime
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 3 small taspoons of white sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 squirts of vinegar
• 4 squirts of hot pepper sauce

You may need to add sugar, salt or vinegar depending on taste.

 

You can also add a small amount of cilantro if you like...we prefer it sans cilantro, because the first time I tried making my own salsa I put too much cilantro in it and now we hate it. HA! :) ENJOY!
