I got a salsa recipe from my sister-in-law, Sara, when we were visiting her family. I've never made salsa before, but this gave me inspiration to try. Last night Rob and I had dinner with some friends, so I made it, and it was a huge hit. I could have eaten all of it myself, it really is fabulous. So, here goes, from Sara:
3 med sized tomatoes
2 scallions, finely minced
2 medium cloves garlic
handful of parsley
handful of cilantro
1 tsp lightly toasted cumin seeds (or I use 1/4 tsp cumin)
3/4 -1 tsp salt
1 T cider vinegar
1T lime juice
1 T olive oil
crushed red pepper, to taste
(I use the cuisinart and just throw it all in there)
What I learned: I don't have a big food processor so I used a smaller one in 2 batches, and the tomatoes probably got a little too small, but it was still okay. I used the minced garlic from a jar (Rob got fresh garlic from the store yesterday, but when I opened it up, it wasn't so fresh) and if I needed to do that again, I'd probably add a little more because I don't think it's as strong as fresh garlic. Also, I didn't have cilantro seeds, so I just threw in more fresh cilantro. Lastly, I used fresh squeezed lime and if I do that again, I'll probably use a little bit less than I did because that fresh lime was really strong (I love that flavor, but Rob--not so much).
Try it out, you'll LOVE it!

I LOVE fresh salsa and am always looking for a good recipe. I'll have to try this one and let you know what I think. :-)

May I say that we did love it and everything else, thank you again! p.s. made strawberry lemonade (with the lemons you gave us) for the inlaws and it was a big hit! Jen (and my name is not really provo peak 3rd ward rs)
So sorry Caitlin! I made a mistake when I sent you the recipe. It is actually CUMIN seeds, not cilantro. I'm glad it still turned out good!
