I ask because with my first garden I planted way more tomato plants than we need and we need to do something with the excess we can't eat or give away. Thanks

here's mine.  its very good.

- diced tomatoes.  the better the 'mato..the better this will come out.  so buy the good ones.  use 3-4 of them.

- diced avocado.  not too ripe...a little firmness is good.  use 2 of them.  

- diced sweet onion (vadalia)

- diced shallot

- diced scallion

- diced jalepenio

- a bunch of fresh cilantro (you guessed it...diced!)

- lime juice (a few tables spoons)  you can even dice up a little of the fruit as well.

mid it all up in a big bowl and serve!
the lime juice will turn the avacado to mush in time..so serve it as soon as you make it.  its awesome!
dice everything small enough to be able to scoop it up w/a chip!

This is one I always have wanted to try:

There are a variety of different pepper types (roasted, raw, dried), which should add layers of flavor.

Here's my recipe. . .basic and yummy.  Of course, can be scaled up/down. . .

- 4 medium to large tomatoes or like 6-7 romas (which I prefer).  Cut in 1/2 first and squeeze out most of the juice/seeds then dice.

- 1/2 of a medium sized red-onion

- 1/2 of a bunch of cilatro, coursely chopped

-  1-2 diced jalapenos (depending on heat, may devein/deseed one, both, etc.)

- the juice of about 4 limes

- salt to taste

Mix, let sit, etc. . .tastes good right away, but, for best flavor, let sit/mix, etc. for about 2-hours.  Can then drain off the excess lime juice.  Also, can blend at this point (or whenever) if you want a soupy-salsa like texture. . .

I'm hungry now!
