Fresh Garden Salsa!

What a yummy treat I whipped up on this beautiful sunshiny Friday morning!  I love this time of year when you can just walk out to the garden, pick fresh fruits and vegetables, and make something tasty. Here's my recipe:
6 Large tomatoes
1 cup of green chiles - roasted & peeled
1/2 walla walla or red onion
4-5 stems of cilantro
jalapeños or any hot peppers
garlic salt
salt
pepper

Sometimes I will throw this all in the blender and pulse it until it's well blended but still a little chunky.  Today I chopped it up and made it chunky like Pico.  
(Mostly because my baby is scared of the blender.)
Good Luck with your batch of homemade salsa!
I don't have much room for a large garden in my small yard so I planted a "SALSA GARDEN BOX".  

I have enjoyed every minute of every day I have taken care of this little garden.  It's so gratifying to walk out and see such big plants in such a small area.  I am so grateful I found this garden box at my local greenhouse.  Here is a list of plants for a "SALSA GARDEN BOX":

TOMATOES
GREEN CHILES
ONIONS
CILANTRO
JALAPEÑOS

Simple as that!
