Pico de Gallo
Hands down, my favorite thing to make with my home grown tomatoes is
homemade salsa / homemade pico de gallo.
Ingredients
- 8 medium sized ripe tomatoes
- 1- 1 1/2 onion diced (I used a Vidalia one)
- 1-2 jalapeno
- 2 hot wax or banana peppers
- 1 salsa pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons of lime juice
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, or to taste
- sea salt
Instructions
Dice tomatoes and onions and place in a large bowl.
In your food processor, place peppers and cilantro and give them a whir!
Scoop into tomato/onion mixture.
Add garlic, lime and give it a sprinkle of sea salt.
If you leave it in the fridge overnight, it always tastes better the next day!

I thought I was familiar with peppers, but I have not heard of a salsa pepper. Could you enlighten me, please. Thanks

Not sure why it’s called that? I would say it would be a chili pepper variety. It’s green then turns red on the vine.
