Fresh Tomato Salsa

A friend from work brought in fresh salsa one day and I was amazed that it involved a pre-packaged product.

My husband and sons love spicy foods, and I like to make my own spice combinations because I know what is in them. The convenience of this "spice in a jar" won me over and because the product is Canadian made, has no MSG, and reduced salt I thought I would try it. It is a great addition to my pantry! I usually double the recipe that follows.















All you need is:
  • 1 cup diced roma tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons hot or medium salsa mix
For added convenience, I mix these ingredients in a container with a lid, shake and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. Serve with anything!















My husband is begging me to make more salsa as I type. Apparently he finished the rest of it today. Since I am updating my blog, he eagerly offered to make it himself... it is so easy and of course we have the rest of the ingredients on hand. :)















Serve the salsa with chips, or on the side with fish. It even goes nicely in a salad.

Very picante!!

My goodness you have been busy!

I like the photo update.

I'm hoping to grow some celantro this year. It adds such a fresh, sharp, clean taste to a dish.
