Tasty Tuesday: Quick Salsa

March 26, 2013

I love salsa– on tortilla chips, tacos, pretzels, eggs, even with chunks of cheese.  Seriously, I think I could eat salsa at every meal.  I get tired of the boring salsa at the store– I can never find one that tastes the way I want it to on a particular day.  So, I decided to experiment.  The recipe below is yours– tweak it to your liking.  Some days I dump in an entire jar of jalapenos, other days I omit the green pepper– it’s completely up to your tastes.  The only suggestion I do have it to definitely make sure you add the sugar to break down the tomatoes and refrigerate it.  It’s better after it sits for awhile and chills.  (Okay, not saying I don’t take several tastes prior to chilling it…)  Enjoy!
