Fresh and Easy Summer Salsa

A few days ago, I bought some gorgeous vine ripened tomatoes. They smelled fabulous, and looked beautiful, so I took them home and made some super flavorful lime and cilantro salsa!  I can't stop eating it!  Really, it is SO delicious! 

You'll love this fresh, salsa, too - especially if you've been growing tomatoes at home or picking them up at your local farmer's market. For a fun twist, try making this with different colored tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 3 large, ripe tomatoes, diced or sliced *
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro*
• 1/8 small onion, skin removed
• 1 squeeze of half a fresh lime
• 1/4 tsp salt (I added more in the end, so salt to taste)
