HOMEMADE PICO DE GALLO (FRESH TOMATO SALSA)
Pico de Gallo is a fresh tomato salsa popular in Mexico. Use ripe tomatoes for this. Not all tomatoes are created equal. When choosing tomatoes, look for tomatoes that are deeply colored and firm, with a little give. If they don't smell like anything, skip them. They should smell like a tomato - sweet and woody.

TOMATO AND PEPPER SALSA
I tend to plant more tomatoes than I will ever need and by late summer there is such an over abundance of homegrown tomatoes that I'm searching for ways to use them all. This is why I was so thankful when Chef Mike Selig gave me this salsa recipe. I make a batch every week from late summer through early fall. Not only is it good for all the extra tomatoes, but it also helps me use up all the excess bell peppers and jalapenos, too! To watch how I prepare this recipe, check out the video below! Related

Steps:
- To start dice the tomatoes. Slicing tomatoes is easiest if you use a serrated blade such as a bread knife.
- Next, core, seed and dice the bell pepper. Chop up the fresh cilantro. Combine these ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle with the fresh lemon juice and lime juice. These juices are the acid that will help break down the tomato and pepper.
- Now add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh jalapeno to give it that little extra kick.
- Finally mix it all together.
- I like to let it sit, unrefrigerated for about an hour to let all the flavors meld. This is a great salsa for eating with chips or roll some up in a pita or a tortilla as a quick snack.

PEPPER AVOCADO SALSA
Much of our summer menu is done on the grill, and peppers and avocados are favorites in my family. That led me to create this recipe to help spice up our barbecued entrees. I have also served it as an appetizer or thin wedges of bread and as a topping for easy country-style dishes like chicken and rice pilaf. With our 14-year-old daughter, we live on 4 wooded acres on Mt. Pisqua. -Theresa Mullens, Gill, Massachusetts
