In our house, we always have salsa in the refrigerator, and I just love to eat it traditionally with tortilla chips, on top of salads, a spoonful on a breakfast egg, or scoop it up with fresh veggies. For most people, salsa comes from a jar, but in the Summer months, it’s time to make your own.
During Summertime, tomatoes are in true abundance and available everywhere. Heirloom tomatoes, or tomatoes grown from historic seeds, make great salsa, but you don’t need to get fancy – any tomato will do. The trick to great salsa is of course great tomatoes!
Ingredients:
10 fresh tomatoes - I used a variety of Roma, Celebrity, and Early Girls diced

1 medium green pepper, diced
1/4 cup parsley, chopped - cilantro if that is your preference
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
