Ellen's Salsa

Ingredients

• 12 to 16 ounces (weight) of tomatoes, diced
• 1 small (about 3 ounces) onion, diced
• juice of 1 lemon or lime, freshly squeezed
• 1 jalapeno pepper (or 1/2 habanera)
• garlic cloves to taste (usually one or two)
• 1/2 teaspoon ocean sea salt
• fresh cilantro to taste, chopped

Preparation

1. Blend all of the ingredients, except the tomatoes and onions, with the blender setting on "grate."
2. In a bowl mix everything together, including the tomatoes and onions.
3. Cover the bowl and set it in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend; for an hour or more (if you can wait that long).

I use salsa on everything from scrambled eggs to salads, meats and veggies.
