Here’s another must-have fresh tomato salsa recipe that uses plenty of ripe, garden-fresh vegetables. I am not a fan of salsa made with out-of-season tomatoes, so when I can’t make my homemade salsa, I use a favorite store-bought salsa instead.

Happy snacking!

This is a wonderful salsa. I could eat the whole batch in one setting! I used three ripe large tomatoes from my garden. I used parsley instead of cilantro because my husband doesn't like cilantro. I didn't use the jalapeños as well because my hubby doesn't care for them. Still the salsa was fabulous. Thank you for this great recipe.
