Salsa just is the perfect “go to” any time of the year; but, summertime abundance of fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro and green onions makes it the perfect summer appetizer.

Is it that way at your house, too? If you have fresh tomatoes, feel free to chop those in and add them! I can tomatoes each year, so there’s always an abundance of them to have on hand when this needs to be on my table.

With cilantro and jalepenos in the garden and canned tomatoes ready to use, this was the perfect recipe to make and share with you.
