Dave's really good friends Scooter happened to marry my really good friend Michelle. Michelle lived in Mexico a year ago. Occasionally, she cooks us an authentic Mexican fiesta. We took her salsa recipe, changed a few things and now it is the perfect companion for tortilla chips. The other day she came over and she had some of this salsa and couldn't believe it was her basic recipe. She loved it! So do we, so I thought I'd share the secret:
1.5 TBS Lime Juice
3 Roma Tomatoes
1/4 of a small purple onion
11 Pinches (about 5 leaves a pinch) cilantro
+ Salt to taste
The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa. Chop up all the above ingredients a electric chopper, in any order.
This recipe is just a starting point, sometimes is works well the first time, but sometimes the cilantro is too bland or the onion is too strong, so you have to add more to make it just right. Dave likes to add hot peppers, but I'm allergic. Let us know if you have any alternatives, so we can try them.
Enjoy!
