I started my first ever garden this year so tomatoes were of abundance. Chips & salsa also happens to be my favorite food. You do the math.

Ingredients:

• About 3 roma tomatoes
• Red onion (I eyeballed)
• Cilantro (I eyeballed again)
• Jalapeno (I did about half of one & let me just say I had pepper hands for hours) …. if anyone knows a remedy for that please let me know!
• Salt (I eyeballed again)
• Lime juice (I eyeballed again)

Maybe this isn’t a recipe hahah. Just letting you know what worked for me as I am the salsa connoisseur. I also recommend multi grain chips!
