Salsa, Pico de Gallo Style


There are few things I like more in the summer time than having fresh veggies dressed up all different ways.  Take this recipe with you on your next trip to the farmer's market.  It's good enough to eat with a spoon!  I will warn you...it's a bit of a labor of love to dice all of these veggies, but SO worth it!  I once tried to do a short cut and throw everything in my food processor....save yourself the heartache.  Turn on a good show and start chopping.  And if you're making this recipe, you might as well grab some avocado's while you're at the store.  While a tortilla chip...or spoon...is all you need to enjoy this salsa, adding it to smashed avocado's makes for one tasty Guacamole!

3 green peppers, diced
3 onions, diced (I like red, but white works fine too.)
12 roma tomatoes, diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tsp. salt (I usually add a little more.)
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
jalepeno peppers, diced and to taste...depending on how spicy you like things

Mix all ingredients together in large bowl.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour, or overnight is best.
