Picked up this recipe at a local "Elmer's" restaurant. It sounds so good and easy to prepare. They were giving out the recipe free so I guess it's OK to post here. I haven't tried it yet, but the card said: It takes only minutes to produce the best-tasting summer salsa ready for dipping, topping, and summertime fun. Cooking time includes standing time.

4 large plum tomatoes, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch dice (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, minced
2 green onions, including green tops, cut into thin slices
3/4 cup onion, sweet Walla Walla, diced (I think any sweet onion would work)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, green onion, sweet onion, cilantro and garlic.
  • In a measuring cup, stir together the lemon juice, lime juice, sugar, coriander, cumin and salt.
  • Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve, and then pour over the tomato mixture.
  • Stir gently to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and set aside for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
