Tomato Salsa

By gpawilson

A family favorite and easy to throw together. The prep of these ingredients can be done by hand or in a food processor. Larger cuts/chops will result in a chunkier salsa.

Ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 4 small tomatoes, peeled, chopped (2 C). It's ok to leave the peel on if you prefer; this makes the salsa "chunkier".
• 1/2 C finely chopped onion
• 1/2 C finely chopped green pepper
• 1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, minced
• 1 TBS sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2-1 C chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp oregano, 2 TBS oil
• 1 TBS vinegar
• 6-8 oz tomato juice (can substitute V8 spicy for an amped-up flavor)
• 1/2 tomatillo (optional but it does add a nice "tang" to the salsa)

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare and combine all ingredients. Refrigerate until served.
