FRESH SALSA
Paleo / Whole 30 compliant
6 organic Roma tomatoes (ripe & red all the way through)
1 bunch green onions
1 clove garlic
3 bell peppers (1 each: green, red and yellow)
1 fresh jalapeno (or try peppers in a jar:  Organic Jalapeno Slices 'La Preferida' makes mild and hot options)
1 lime
fresh cilantro
sea salt and freshly ground pepper

* Dice vegetables into very small pieces; place in a bowl.
* Note: Fresh jalapenos require latex gloves during handling.  Seed and remove membrane, then dice & add to the bowl of vegetables. Or dice canned jalapeno slices; toss in with the vegetables.
* Squeeze the lime and add the juice to the salsa.
* Chop cilantro leaves and add to taste.
* Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.  
* Stir and serve.
* Serve with vegetables for dipping or place a dollop over baked fish or chicken. 
* Refrigerate leftovers in a glass container.  It keeps for a week.

** For a smooth salsa, toss all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until desired consistency is achieved.
