SALSA

(My mouth is literally watering while I type this! No Joke...)

I got this recipe from a lady in my ward who I want to be just like someday! Jerilyn is awesome and this recipe is my new favorite!

First, let me start off by saying I am a lover of salsa- I can't get enough of it! It has to be fresh and it has to be mild. Call me a wuss, but I like to taste all the flavors of my salsa- too much of a kick and all I taste is the pepper and the snot running down my nose- what fun is that?!

The YW in our ward made this and sold it for a fundraiser 2 years ago and just last week I remembered how much I liked it. I made this for a girls night in where 1/2 of the huge batch was gone in 60 seconds. The other half was finished the next day during Sunday dinner. I think people liked the salsa and chips more than my enchiladas!! (GASP!)

Ok, enough gabbing, here is the awesome recipe written by Jerilyn Figueroa herself:

FIG FAMILY SALSA

It makes a big batch, but if you like salsa.....it goes fast!

Here it is:

5 lbs. Roma tomatoes

4 bunches green onions

1 bunch cilantro

4 medium pickled jalapenos (these come in a can on the Mexican Food Aisle)

3 limes

1 Tblsp. salt

2 tsp. garlic salt

1 tsp. ground cumin

2 tsp. sugar

Chop tomatoes very fine by hand or in a food processor being careful not to puree.  Thinly slice green onions.  Chop jalapenos very fine or you can add them to the tomatoes as you put them in the food processor.  "Shave" cilantro leaves off of the stems and chop fine.  Mix all in a large bowl and add lime juice, salt, garlic, cumin, and sugar.  Chill several hours before serving to blend flavors.  ENJOY!

... seriously you all need to make this for dinner tonight. It will not disappoint.
