Quick Salsa Fresca

This is a great quick way to whip up a Salsa Fresco.  We served this up with some fish tacos the other night.  We also had a cabbage salad which had cilantro in it, so I skipped it here, but you could definitely add cilantro to this recipe if you wanted to.

Another great thing about this Salsa Fresca, is the next night, I added some olive oil to the leftovers and used it to marinate and cook some chicken breasts in.  Very tasty.

Here's what you need:
1/4 a large purple onion, diced
1/3 a red pepper, diced
2 roma tomatoes, sliced and quatered
fresh lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
optional, cilantro

Salsa

Why did the tomato blush?
Because, he saw the salad dressing!

Sometimes you just need a snack.  Or, as the man of the house says, sometimes, you just need to eat chips and salsa for dinner (or any other meal for that matter).

Luckily for me, my hubby is fantastic at making salsa.

Here's what you need (side note: the very thoughtful, very kind hubby did this recipe on his own so this makes a MASSIVE amount of salsa; feel free to cut yours in half if you do not consume salsa at the same rate as you consume water, like we do):
food processor
2 cans of diced tomatoes (he used 1 can with Jalapenos and one without, your choice)
2 cans of stewed tomatoes
1 roughly chopped onion
1-2 teaspoons of kosher salt
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 dash of onion powder
1 dash of garlic powder
1 clove of garlic
lime juice, to taste
1 dash of oregano
Chiles of preference: Jalapeno, Habanero, Serano...etc.
