Fresh Tomato Salsa

This is a classic red salsa with a delicious fresh taste.  I prefer a hand food processor so the salsa is still a little chunky.  It is much easier to control the cutting when using a hand food processor.  They sometimes are hard to find in stores, but you can easily find them at Amazon.com.  Try to get one with a curved blade - they cut more easily.



Fresh Tomato Salsa

          1/2 orange, juiced                                 1/2 Tbsp salt
          1/4 lime, juiced                                     1/2 small jalapeno, sliced (remove seeds for mild)
          2 cloves garlic, minced                          1/4 med onion, cut into chunks
          10 sprigs of cilantro                               4 med roma tomatoes, cut in chunks

Place all ingredients except tomatoes in food processor and cut into fine pieces.  Add tomatoes and process until tomatoes are in small pieces, but still chunky.  (If using electric food processor, be careful to just pulse a few short times.)  Serve immediately or refrigerate until  serving.  Also delicious with avocado.  Just cut an avocado into small pieces and stir into salsa by hand.  Enjoy!
