fresh salsa

Recipe by

I love fresh salsa during the summer, especially when I can use ingredients fresh from my garden. I also often make this with grape tomatoes, as I always seem to have an overabundance of them at the end of summer. If you use grape or cherry tomatoes, dice and then place in a salad spinner to remove excess juice before adding to other ingredients.
