Ok, here's something easy and amazingly delicious. You guys can serve it with fajitas, quesadillas or just dip some nacho chips (the white kind, please) in there and use it as a salsa for any party or gathering. We had Sophie over for dinner last night and she enjoyed it so much she's making it tonight for another get together she's having. I'm telling you.. it's THAT GOOD! Here it goes...
Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and green parts)
3 jalapenos, chopped (seeds removed)
2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely (that means small pieces, very small)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (you can use the upper stems, not the bottoms)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Coarse salt (like sea salt) and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
1.In a medium bowl, mix together tomatoes, scallions, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, oregano, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for an hour and a half to two hours and then serve. Make sure you let it sit. It gets so much better after 90 minutes.
Dan, mine is very similar except 2-3 more garlic, no scallions (red onion instead), no oregano and garlic salt to taste (no pepper). I LOVE cilantro!
