Notes &
Variations:
-
This is a simple, fresh salsa that is excellent
as a dip for tortilla chips, or served as an accompaniment to a Mexican
meal. It is imperative that the ingredients be mixed at the last
minute, so that their flavors do not merge.
-
This dish is only as good as the tomatoes
that go into it. If you don't have homegrown tomatoes, look for vine-ripened
tomatoes.
-
Try adding some chopped cucumber.
