Here's a pretty simple recipe.


2 cups diced ripe tomatoes

1 cup diced purple onion

6 to 10 jalapeno peppers finely chopped

3 cloves garlic finely chopped

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons salt



No exotic spices and it works.



Mix all ingredients and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Keeps several days in the refrigerator.



Variations

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 habanero

1 cup sweet corn
