Garden Fresh Salsa

I made this salsa the other day, and it got my husband and I talking.  He said this was the first salsa he learned how to make during his summer in Colorado, 12 years ago.  I remember that summer after he came back from Colorado us running all over Madison looking for a Smart Chopper so we could make this salsa.  We got boxes of fresh tomatoes from the farmers market and made a ton of this stuff.  Might not seem all that strange now, but when you look back to where we were at that time.  I was 20, and going to college 2 hours away from where future husband was going to college.  I can’t remember what we did with all the salsa, I just remember making it!

Well if we are still making it today, that has to mean it is good, right?  It is similar to what you would get at a good Mexican Restaurant.  It is fresh, and delicious! Until we moved to Iowa we used to grow everything we needed to make this salsa in our garden.
