Ingredients for the Salsa Recipe
5 or 6 ripe, red Roma tomatoes

¼ to 1/3 cup red onion (to desired taste)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro (about a handful)

Salt to taste
Optional: To enhance the taste of this salsa recipe, try these optional additives: For example, a dash of pepper, a little bit more heat in the form of some chili powder (about ¼ or ½ TEA), oregano, cumin, or even a small amount (½ TEA) of sugar.
Instructions for the Salsa Recipe
Put all of the ingredients into your food processor and blend for 2 or 3 seconds. Don’t liquify it, be very quick about this if you want to keep it somewhat chunky. Adjust the number of onions and the amount of chili or “heat” to your taste.
