Spring Salsa

As soon as the Spring weather decides to show up around here, there is nothing I crave more than sitting on the patio with a margarita in one hand and some chips and salsa in the other hand. Making homemade salsa that is as good or even better than a Mexican Restaurant salsa is so easy to do. Before I figured it out, I was too intimidated to make it on my own. Now, I refuse to buy store bought salsa!
I am not a big tomato fan but I love salsa. So I use canned tomatoes for my salsa, crushed so there are no big chunks. This batch is made with one large can. Then I cut up one onion, one bunch of cilantro and one jalapeno pepper-more or less depending on how hot you like it. Then I add a little garlic salt and regular salt to taste. I like salt so I probably add more than I should! And the only way to really get the yummiest salsa ever, is to get the best chips ever. I can only eat Juanita's tortilla chips with homemade salsa. They are so salty and crunchy, you have to try them if you haven't!
Be warned, making homemade salsa will spoil anyone who tries it and that is all they will ever want again. I am going to go sit out on the patio with my margarita and chips and salsa...won't you join me?!
