2 cans (28 oz. total) diced tomatoes, drained well
½ onion
1 clove garlic, minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cilantro leaves
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp parsley
2 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend to desired consistency.
Note to Team Southerland- Do not allow a person with a cold to make this with free access to several jalapeno's. Daddy did that to us in Virginia once. Mommy did a "modified stationary panic" until my thoughts returned to my mind and I ran to get something to drink. It was the hottest thing I have ever tasted! Daddy took it to church and there was a couple in attendance who lived in Guatemala. They tasted Daddy's salsa and said, "The flavor is really good but it is too spicy!" :) We laughed and laughed. Someone even drew a little picture of a man with tears running down his face and set it up against the serving container of salsa. (It might have been Daddy who did that!) :) I think the 2 jalapenos are about the max that Mommy can take in this but it sure does have a fantastic flavor! By the way, Daddy's salsa has nothing on Uncle Michael's salsa. His is so hot that the guys sweat when they eat it. Now that is some serious "clearing your sinuses" food! :)
Love Always,
Mommy
