Salsa Fresca

My fresh salsa. Very yummy and works well as a marinade for chicken or in the crockpot to make shredded chicken or pork for burritos.

6 ripe Roma tomatoes
1 bunch of Cilantro
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 yellow Onion, chopped
1 (or 2) Jalepeno peppers
1 Serrano pepper
Juice from 1 lime
Salt to taste

Place the clean de-stemmed tomatoes in a food processor. Add the Cilantro, garlic, onion, lime juice and at least 2 sprinkles of salt. Now for the peppers, I add the entire pepper after I have chopped off the stem. The seeds are not noticeable and I believe that the added juice from the pepper is a nice flavor addition.
Pulse blend as to mix and chop but not to liquefy. Taste with a chip for salt additions.

Good luck
