Fresh Salsa

This is a recipe that originally was created back in high school with my friend Travis. It's evolved over the years, but it is a fantastic fresh salsa. I remember when we first made it I had never even heard of cilantro before. Ahhh...things change!

Fresh Tomatoes
Garlic Cloves
Fresh Cilantro
White or Spanish Onion
Pickled Jalapenos
Lime
Salt
Pepper
White Vinegar
Tabasco

In a food processor or blender, place about 2 oz of cilantro, rough chopped, two peeled cloves of garlic, and about 1/4 of a medium onion. Pulse until thoroughly chopped. Add about 4 medium tomatoes, cut into big chunks. Add about 2 oz (or more if you are brave) of the pickled jalapenos. Pulse to blend. Add the juice of 1/2 of a lime (remember to microwave for :30 to make it easier to juice). Add the final touches of salt, pepper, 1Tbs of vinegar and Tabasco to taste. Pulse to combine.

Depending on the tomatoes, it may be watery. Oftentimes I drain a bit of the water off before serving with tortilla chips. I suggest home grown tomatoes only for this recipe- the store bought hot house tomatoes don't have the same quality, in my opinion.
