A great summer treat to make when our garden is bursting with tomatoes and jalapeño peppers. Enjoy over eggs, meat, fish, tofu, or with whole grain chips.
Ingredients
- 5 tomatoes (medium)
- 2 jalapeños
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 red onion (medium)
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (fresh)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cilantro (fresh, leaves)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Wash the vegetables. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and put into a medium-sized bowl. Because they can burn the skin, an adult should seed and mince the jalapeños and add them to the tomatoes.
- Peel the garlic and mince. Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Add the onion and garlic to the tomato mixture.
- Stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Chop the cilantro and stir only until combined.
