Red Tomato Salsa

I have tried dozens of salsa recipes because it is, yes you guessed it, one of our family’s favorite things. This is my original recipe created after much experimentation through the years. My son-in-law, who served a mission for our church in Mexico City, loves it. His approval means a lot as he experienced Mexican dishes for two years. This is a staple at our house. It is so satisfying to have a bottle of salsa in the refrigerator when you want a snack! We know you will love this recipe as much as we do.


Ingredients
2 quarts whole tomatoes
1 medium size can stew tomatoes (if you don’t have these just add more whole tomatoes)
1/2 can chopped jalapenos (more or less to taste)
1 cup cilantro, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped fine
2 bunches green onions, chopped
2- 4oz cans chopped green chilies
Juice of 2-3 medium limes
1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Directions
Place the whole tomatoes, stew tomatoes, and the jalapenos in the blender. Pulse 3 to 4 times.

Place all other ingredients in a large bowl and add the tomatoes and jalapenos. Stir all ingredients together.

Serve with tortilla chips or as garnish over Mexican foods.
