Good Food Friday!

Easy Salsa

One 14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained

(you can also use 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes instead)

One 4 oz. can chopped green chiles

(sometimes I leave these out. It's just as good without them)

1/2 c. chopped scallions (white and green parts)

1/2 C. chopped onions

1/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro

2 Tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 C. chopped fresh tomatoes

1. Place everything except the 1/2 C. chopped tomatoes in a food processor. Cover and process until finely chopped.

2. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes. Let stand at least one hour for flavors to meld.

*Substitutions...If I want to make this and I don't have scallions I just use the 1/2 cup of onion and it tastes fine. Also you can use bottled lemon juice or lime juice in place of the fresh.

*If you like things spicy...add some chopped jalapenos!

My husband absolutely loves this salsa. I do too!

This makes a great topping for tacos/burritos, chicken, fish and even burgers. And of course, tortilla chips.

ENJOY!!
