This recipe tastes just like the salsa they serve at a lot of Mexican restaraunts, its def yummy!

Salsa (Recipe from: Susan Peterson)
1 can of petite diced tomatoes (I use 28 oz size)
1 jalapeño
8-9 green onions (use the white and green part of the green onion; just not the sprouts)
1/3 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. garlic salt
2 tsp. lime juice

  1. Drain the juice from the can of tomatoes into a blender.
  2. Scrape the seeds and pulp out of the jalapeño. (Do not touch eyes or any other sensitive parts of your body after handling the jalapeño it WILL burn!)
  3. Add jalapeño to blender with tomato juice. Puree jalapeño and juice until the jalapeño is disintegrated.
  4. Chop green onions and cilantro. Add to petite diced tomatoes.
  5. Add jalapeño/tomato juice to the petite diced tomatoes.
