Everyone loves homemade salsa, so I was overjoyed to find this recipe in Simply in Season. I thought it would be a great way to use up some heirloom tomatoes from my CSA!

6 medium fresh tomatoes (diced)
1 medium red onion (diced)
1 large green pepper (diced)
2 hot chili peppers
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
3 Tbs fresh basil (chopped)
2 Tbs vinegar
1 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
Servings: 6
The Verdict: Oh. My. Word. LOVE how fresh this tastes! The basil and cilantro aren’t too overpowering but definitely make it very flavorful. I ate this with chips and cheese and sour cream. YUM!
