Salsa

Salsa is delicious and sooooo easy to make!  I thought my days of salsa were over, since tortilla chips are no longer a part of our diet.  (It's ok, I've pulled through.)

Who needs tortilla chips to eat salsa?  (Don't answer that.)  It's actually great by itself, in place of or on top of salad and served atop carnitas.  Our friends from Puerto Rico serve their salsa with cooked shrimp tossed right in - which reminds me...I need to make that!

6-8 ripe plum tomatoes

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large lemon, juiced
sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Slice plum tomatoes in half lengthwise.  Cut out seeds.  Dice tomatoes and toss into a medium bowl.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  Taste.  Adjust seasoning.
