Homemade Salsa Recipe with Fresh Tomatoes

Easy Homemade Salsa

with fresh tomatoes and cilantro

bowl of homemade salsa.

Chips are so much better, when they are served with homemade salsa made with fresh tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, onion and cilantro.

This recipe is wonderful, when you use peak of the season tomatoes from your garden or a farmer’s market.

The flavors are bright and bold, so you’ll want to finish every drop.

I absolutely love cilantro, lots of it, but I understand that not everyone does.

If you are not a cilantro fan, just leave that out of the recipe and it will still be delicious.

This salsa is easy enough to make last minute right before you need a snack.

Or you can make it ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor.

Enjoy!
