Farmers Market Fresh Salsa

SALSA. SO GOOD. I feel like I can seriously just leave it right there and not say anything more, but seriously this recipe speaks for itself. I will at least share a bit of behind the scenes and such. My favorite part about this recipe is that there is no tricks. It is so straight forward and obvious, but maybe that is what makes it perfect. It is no muss, no fuss, always perfect salsa. It is great on its own with chips or spread over a taco or breakfast eggs. The best part is that we had such a great opportunity to visit our local farmers markets and pick up some perfectly red tomatoes, and we that was when we decided to share one of our favorite with you.

One of our favorite ways to use salsa is to put it over fresh farm eggs.

Recipe Notes

I like to use a variety of tomatoes, some ripe, some not as ripe, roma, beef steak, different colors.  If tomatoes seem extra juicy you can leave some of the juice behind as you dice, or slightly drain tomatoes before adding other ingredients.

Add more of less jalapenos or hot peppers to taste.
