I just love the lazy days of summer, but alas, it seems they are nearing their end.
I wanted to share with you a summer recipe that has had us dippin' and lickin' our fingers many times! I will probably make it one more time for us before the rains come and I start thinking about roasted pumpkin seeds and apple farms!
This recipe is my variation on the Latin American Chismole:
2 tomatoes, chopped finely and mushily
1 smallish sweet onion, chopped extra fine
1 small bunch of cilantro, chopped fine
1 lime
sea salt
fresh cracked pepper
Chop ingredients with a chopper or food processor. Place in pretty bowl. Squeeze lime juice into mix. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Enjoy with tortilla chips or on tacos!
Optional: freshly minced garlic or a small bit of finely chopped jalapeno if you like zing! But don't make the mistake like me of touching the inside of the jalapeno. My fingers were burning for 2 days! If you'd like this dip to be more like salsa, add more tomatoes.
Simple and tasty, just the way cooking should be!

YUM!
Similar, but simpler than the Pico de Gallo my step-dad loves to make. I could drink the stuff.
If you'd like to make it a bit heartier, add some red & yellow bell peppers. You can certainly add jalapeno and the more lime you add will cut the spice of the jalapeno. We like it really limey and cilantro-y. (This is his version of pico de gallo.)
oops - I meant to add garlic in there - we put in the onions and garlic with it all... :D
Mmmm, yummmm!
I also love to add chunks of avocado, it makes it, well... more chunky!
