Ingredients
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and cut up*
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
Tortilla chips
Directions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, except the tortilla chips.
2. Garnish the salsa with additional fresh cilantro and serve with the tortilla chips. Cover and store the salsa in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Makes 2-3/4 cups.
3. *Note: Because the chili peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, wear plastic gloves when working with them. If your bare hands touch the chili peppers, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Wonderful my family loved it! I found that you can use roasted tomatoes in the can if good fresh tomatoes aren't available.
