Salsa

I really like homemade salsa this time of year. Everything is so fresh!

Recently, some people have asked me how I make salsa. The answer is that I make it a few different ways. Sometimes I make a more basic salsa and other times I make a corn and black bean salsa. Here are recipes for both types.
Basic Salsa

8- Tomatoes (Roma tomatoes are best)
1- Medium Onion
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
1/2 of a bunch of Cilantro
2 T Olive Oil
1-2 T Lime Juice
1 t Salt
1 t Pepper
1 T Sugar
Hot Sauce to taste

You can change the amounts of anything based on taste and what you like the best. And I like everything chopped small, so I use a food processor to chop and blend everything.

Corn and Black Bean Salsa

1 can of White Corn, rinsed and drained
1 can of Black Beans, rinsed and drained
6 Roma Tomatoes, chopped
5 Green Onions, chopped
1 Red Pepper, chopped
1/4 c. Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 c. Olive Oil
1 t Garlic, minced
1/2 t. Cumin
3/4 c. Cilantro, chopped
Hot Sauce and Salt to taste

I put everything except the Corn and Beans into the food processor. Then combine the two parts.

If you try them, let me know which one that you like the best!
