Fresh Salsa

Homemade salsa and tortilla chips are great refreshing healthy snacks during a hot day. Besides eating salsa with tortilla chips, you can use it to top your tacos, add it to your salad, or eat it alone. In this salsa recipe, I used tomatoes, onions, cilantro, red pepper, salt, lime juice, oil, and pepper. I really do encourage everyone to try adding cilantro into your salsa. It makes a difference and adds a fresh taste. If you like the sweet taste of bell peppers like I do, you can also add some green bell peppers. I wanted to add green pepper but I only had red peppers. Without further adieu, below is the recipe. I hope you enjoy!!! If you have any questions or comments, please post it on the comment post. Thanks.



Ingredients:
  • 4 medium sized tomatoes, diced 
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 small to medium sized red bell pepper, deseeded and diced
  • 5 stalks of cilantro, chopped into tiny pieces
  • half of a lime juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil 

Instructions:
Put the diced tomatoes, onions, red bell pepper, and cilantro together in a medium bowl. Squeeze half of a lime into the bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix all the ingredients together. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to overnight before serving.
