I believe salsa has become my Signature Dish because anyone who tastes it often says to me it is delicious. Some say it is yummy, and some say it tastes very good. People often surprisingly ask me "Did you make it?" "Yes, and I made it from scratch" I replied. Every time I see the impressive reaction from people, I am so proud of my dish. I don’t measure exactly all of the ingredients, I just mix them and then taste it and add more seasoning if it is not tasty enough.
I believe that this dish is healthy, is a kind of probiotic, is vegetarian and it is easy to make. (10-20 minutes)
Salsa

- 2 cups of chopped tomatoes (or canned diced tomatoes)

Method:

Additional Tips:
