Homemade Salsa-

Ingredients for homemade salsa:

* 4 large fresh ripe tomatoes

* 4 fresh green Anaheim or New Mexico Chilies

* 1 sweet red onion, chopped into ¼ inch pieces

* 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

* 1 to 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt, to taste

* 1 tablespoon lime juice

* 2 teaspoons Olive Oil

* ¼ cup cilantro stems removed and finely chopped

* 1 sprig of fresh oregano

Directions:

1. Roast the tomatoes and green chilies on a gas grill or under the oven broiler until charred and blackened.

2. Place the blackened chilies in a Ziploc freezer bag steaming for about 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, remove the skin from the tomatoes, cut in half and remove the seeds, then chopped about ½ inch in size.

4. Remove the chilies from the plastic bag, using a paper towel remove the blackened skins from the chilies. Slice lengthwise and remove the seeds, reserving some of them for later use.

5. Chop the Chilies and combine with the tomatoes. Add the onion, garlic, salt, lime juice, olive oil and cilantro.

6. Add enough of the reserve chili seed to give your sauce for character to suit your taste.

7. Place the fresh oregano sprig in the salsa and set it aside in a cool place for about an hour to allow it to "cast it's spell" on this magical homemade salsa recipe.

Answer 3

A lot depends  on your personal preferences.  I personally like pineapple salsa.  Some like mango salsa But some like black bean and corn salsa.  Here are two great recipes.  If you like cilantro, be sure to add plenty to taste.

FRESH PINEAPPLE SALSA OLE

1 1/2 c. fresh pineapple, chopped

1/4 c. red onion, chopped

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

1/2-1 tsp. (or to taste) jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

1 tsp. fresh ginger, finely minced

1 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped

Mix all ingredients well in a glass bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Yield 1 3/4 cups. Per 2 tablespoon portions equal 12 calories, no cholesterol.

You can substitute the pineapple for mango and have a mango salsa.
