It's Tomato Time!!

Finally....at long last the tomatoes are ripening! The red Celebrity tomatoes are large and gorgeous! Two other plants were gifts from our friends Terry and Sheila- a Tomatillo and an Heirloom Variety called Cherokee Purple. Yum! Now it's time for fresh Salsa. Enjoy the recipe - it's our favorite!
Fresh Salsa
32 Medium Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1 TBL Granulated Garlic
2 TBL Lime Juice
1 Cup Chopped Onion
1 Cup Chopped Peppers (I love to use "Fooled You" because they are mild)
1 1/2 TBL Salt
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Chop tomatoes and drain in a colander for a few minutes. (I chop everything in the food processor) Combine all ingredients and let marinate overnight. Serve with baked chips for a lowfat and healthy treat!
