Farmer’s Market Tomato Salsa
The end of summer is hands-down my favorite time of year for produce. Tomatoes, sweet corn, peaches, zucchini, bell peppers and berries – so many options to make amazingly fresh recipes!
I usually grow several types of tomatoes each year, and I love to make homemade salsa with jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and garlic. So simple, and so refreshing as an appetizer with crispy tortilla chips.
The beauty of this recipe is you can make it as chunky or as pureed as you wish. And, the food processor does all of the work – although you could dice and chop all of the ingredients if you wish!
Don’t let all of the end-of-summer produce pass you by without making fresh salsa!
