I got 11 tomatoes in the CSA share this week. AMAZING. Nothing makes me happier than tomatoes. I also got fresh cilantro and jalapenos in the haul. What's a girl to do? PICO!!! I stopped and picked up a red onion (I like the color better) and some other ingredients to get started.
1 large tomato or 3 medium to small ones, chopped small
1 onion, red or white (or green if you like), chopped fine
5 cloves of garlic (this is how much I used. YMMV)
2 jalapenos, seeds removed, chopped very fine
dash of lemon juice (or lime)
chopped cilantro (1/2 to 3/4 cup)
Salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let sit at least two hours. Its that easy.
Some notes:
If you like a hot salsa, use more than the amount I did for peppers. Or throw in a habanero. I ended up adding more after the fact.
This was *really* garlicky. If you don't like garlic, don't add as much.
This was also a little cilantro heavy. If you have friends who hate cilantro (*looks at melissa*), use less.
