Simple Food: Green Tomato Salsa

If you are like myself, you eagerly await the taste of your own tomatoes. Like most things in life, the waiting seems to take forever. What to do in the meantime? Enjoy a few of your green tomatoes! One of my favorite things to do with green tomatoes (aside from making Fried Green Tomatoes) is to make Green Tomato Salsa. Here is my recipe:

Ginger's Green Tomato Salsa
* 1 cup diced green tomatoes
* 3-4 diced green onion spikes or about 5-6 chives
* 2-3 diced jalapeno or sweet banana peppers
* 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
* about 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt

-Begin by washing and dicing all of your vegetables. In a small bowl, put in your tomatoes and then, sprinkle them with kosher salt. Mix well. Next, add your peppers and onions-mixing again. Now, sprinkle in your vinegar/lemon juice and blend well. This recipe makes 1 serving.
*I prefer to use the sweet banana peppers with lemon juice. However, using jalapenos and white vinegar works well, too!
