Farmer's Market Salsa

Chips and salsa always hits the spot. I hit the pepper jackpot at the Farmer's Market, so I whipped up this salsa. Buen provecho!




Ingredients:
1 medium jalapeno, seeds removed
1 green bell pepper
1 large red chili pepper
1 small red onion
2 medium tomatoes
3-4 cloves of garlic, grated or minced
Olive oil
salt and pepper

To prepare the salsa, dice all the vegetables, the smaller the chunks, the better. Mix in the garlic, a splash or two of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper (I always add salt and pepper by hand, as opposed to with a shaker). You can eat it immediately, but it's better if it's refrigerated for a few hours so all the flavors can marinate and it gets a little juicier.

*Warning: chopping jalapenos with your bare hands can cause burning, that, for me, has lasted up to a whole day. Plastic gloves will help.

Doesn't this look a lot yummier than the stuff you buy in the jar?!
