Preparation

Step 1

• 1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together chopped tomatoes, Anaheim pepper or canned chili peppers, sweet pepper, green onions, cilantro or parsley, lime juice or lemon juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper.*
• 2. Cover and chill 1 to 24 hours before serving. Makes about 3 cups (12, 1/4-cup servings).
• *Note: For a slightly smoother salsa, place 1 cup of the salsa in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend just until smooth. Stir into remaining salsa.
• Make-ahead tip: Spoon the salsa into a storage container. Cover and chill for up to 3 days.
