Traditional Garden Tomato Salsa
This salsa always gets big kudos when I serve it at a gathering. It tastes so fresh however not every ingredient has to come from the garden to make this salsa seem like you slaved over it for hours.

Notes
The hack is to use mostly canned tomatoes however chop up a few seeded Roma tomatoes and add them in. We also use canned pickled jalapeno peppers and a little bit of the pepper juice to add in acidity.Â
Taste after it is chilled. You can always add more cayenne pepper and salt if needed. If it is too hot you can add more fresh lime juice or more tomatoes
