Fresh Salsa

This recipe is easy to make and quick and delicious for those who love garlic and cilantro and tomato salsa. It makes a great gift and is fun to make with children for Cinco de Mayo. It's scrumptious to make with fresh tomatoes. 
















INGREDIENTS
  • Tomatoes, 6 or 8 good sized ones, canned in winter
  • Garlic, 6-8 cloves
  • 2 medium onions
  • Bunch of cilantro
  • Salt
  • Splash of apple cider vinegar
  • Cumin ~ ground
  • Lime juice of one juicy lime or two so so ones

DIRECTIONS
  1. Chop by hand into small dice or chop it in the food processor
  2. Taste, add more of what you like, salt, lime, vinegar, if needed
Enjoy!

Children can peel the garlic and onion and chop the onion into chunks that fit the food processor. Children can wash and spin dry the cilantro, open the tomatoes and measure the vinegar. I measure first into a cup or bowl with children in case of overfill, that way it can be adjusted before it goes into the meal.
