Salsa!

Okay, for a very basic salsa, all you really need is chopped tomatos, finely finely minced jalepenos (take out the seeds first), and salt. Really, for a milder salsa, you could use a different kind of pepper. You could roast the tomato and the pepper first, rub off the blackened skin, and chop and mince to your hearts' content for a nice smokey flavor. The proportions are up to you.

But there is the issue of add-ins for salsa, and really, the sky is the limit. Here is a list of things to consider adding to your next batch:

- fresh cut off the cob corn
- cooked black beans
- minced onion (can be roasted first)
- finely minced garlic (can roast first, too - a much milder garlic flavor)
- finely minced cilantro or parsley
- chili powder
- minced chives
- finely chopped basil
- finely chopped watermelon
- finely chopped, roasted pineapple

Really, the sky's the limit - I wouldn't add all of the above at once, but any one of these is tasty. Yummy!
