Fresh Tomato Salsa!

Hey everyone! I'm pleased to report that it's been just beautiful in Philly the last two days, warm but with very low humidity-Woo Hoo! My tomatoes are coming in and I thought I'd make a quick salsa for burritos.

Just general measurements, there really isn't a right or wrong and add in any extra spices you're fond of.
Salsa
One tomato, about the size of a baseball or 3/4 C chopped
1/4 C (heaping) onion, diced
1/4 C bell pepper, seeded and diced (I used red)
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1 Tblsp parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 lemon or lime, squeeze all the juice out
S&P to taste
-Mix, let sit for an hour-enjoy.

Earl says, I'll even help weed the garden to pig out on burritos!
What do you add to your salsa?
Have a happy day:@)

    Sadly I cannot eat salsa, but yours looks wonderful and low humidity in Jersey is the best (I grew up in Pennsauken) Enjoy! Kit

    So glad to see this recipe posted. Great idea since my tomatoes are doing very well too and I have jalapeno's also. Thank you for sharing.

    We are still tomatoless in the midwest--sob! Surely we'll have some soon. Your salsa sounds delicious. We love it on tacos and scrambled eggs and lots of other ways as well.

    Best,
    Bonnie

    That's exactly how I make my salsa! I usually use lime juice and cilantro- homemade is always better than the store bought.I bet Earl is a great helper. :)

    That is pretty much how we make our salsa but not as much jalapeno and ALWAYS cilantro. Delish.

    Hello from Frog Hollow Farm! The weather today has been just perfect, so much better than the last week or two. Our tomatoes are not ripe yet, but seeing yours gives me hope. This recipe looks simple and delicious, and so seasonal. I'm working on organizing my recipes by season - so far it's going well! Ciao, bella!

    Love salsa, especially fresh.
    I hate cilantro (I'm one of the people that taste soap!) so I use parsley.

    I love Salsa but it can't be too hot because of my reflux. Anything with fresh tomatoes makes me happy!

    Fresh, homemade salsa...love it! My favorite breakfast is tortillas, scrambled eggs and salsa. The way you make it is just the way I like it.

    Use two tomatoes, a whole onion, whole bell pepper, four jalepenos and a can of rotel. Now you have enough for a party!

    Your salsa looks yummy. My recipe has all the same ingredients as yours does. Sometime I might use red onion instead, but not a big difference.
