The base recipe for this comes from a handy little book called "100 Calorie Snack Cookbook”.
This book has come in handy when I have a craving—tons of good ideas divided conveniently by “craving type”: Crunchy, Salty, Creamy & Cheesy, Frozen, Beverages, etc.
This recipe will make about 4 half-cup servings. Important note- the color of your tomato will determine the end result of your salsa, so if you want a nice, beautiful red salsa, get ruby red tomatoes, lest you end up with pink salsa (like I did).
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ripe tomatoes, seeded & diced
1 small red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bell pepper, any color
1 jalapeno, seeded & chopped
1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
Juice of 1/2 lime
Combine all ingredients together in a blender & stir,then Pulse 3-4 times to combine.
Let sit for 2 hours before serving (this is what the book calls for, however I think it tastes good right away, so it’s up to you!)
