Fresh Salsa

I need a salsa fix almost every day.  I just love the texture, flavor and spice so much that it's hard to control myself.  When I can make this with ingredients from my garden it's the best! 

Makes about 3 cups.

2 lbs ripe tomatoes, chopped

½ cup cilantro, chopped

2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed

¼ cup onion, diced

1 teaspoon jalapeno pepper, very finely diced  (Use gloves when dicing.  1 teaspoon gives it a kick, depending on potency of pepper.  Use more or less to taste.)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and mix.  Refrigerate at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to come together.
