Cherry Tomato Salsa
While dealing with some quite productive cherry tomato plants a friend recommended that I try making salsa out of them. And I have to say, this is our new favorite fresh salsa recipe!!!
The cherry tomatoes have such a nice sweet flavor, it really goes quite well with the spice. Now the first time I made it (pictured) I cut them all up by hand. *whew that was a lot of cutting* The next time I made it. I threw a handful at a time into the food processor. Not only were the chunks smaller, it went much faster!
Cherry Tomato Salsa
about 5 cups of cherry tomatoes
1 small to medium onion (or half of a large onion)
3-5 jalapenos (depending on how spicy you like it!)
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 -1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (again, depending on spice!)
Cut, chop, and mix everything together. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, but it’s best if the flavors work themselves together overnight!
Seriously soooo easy!

I love when I take the time to make good homemade salsas – I don’t do it very often, though. I am sure that after it sits overnight the flavors are incredible.
