Town Center Young Women Salsa

Good job girls! You were a great help and we got the job done! Here is the recipe so you can make salsa at home:

SALSA USING CANNED TOMATOES

Yields: approximately 5-6 cups

This is great in the winter when the tomatoes aren’t good, or anytime you don’t have fresh tomatoes on hand.

1 can (24-28 oz. or about 3 cups) diced tomatoes in juice
½ medium white onion (about 4 oz.)
1 small jalapeno pepper, or to your taste (I keep roasted chopped jalapenos in my freezer and spoon out when I need them—defrost slightly)
1 tsp. granulated garlic (you can use fresh is you want)
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1-2 Tbsp. lime or lemon juice
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. salt, or to taste
Fresh ground pepper
8 oz. water, optional (use if you need to thin out)

Cut onion, jalapeno and cilantro into very small pieces. Mix with the rest of the ingredients, refrigerate and enjoy.
