Homemade Salsa for Two

1. Cut cherry or grape tomatoes into quarters and add to a non-reactive bowl. Next, add your small diced onion and garlic. To get 4 tablespoons of onion, I used about 1/2 of a small onion. I sliced the half in half horizontally, then made downward cuts along the whole thing, then cut down again perpendicular to create an even dice.

2. Next remove leaves from cilantro and roughly cut them up. For a single batch of salsa, you will only need 1/4 cup. Add it into the bowl with the tomato mixture.

3. Lastly, add your lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and honey. If using, add jalapeño or hot sauce. Mix together well and cover with a tight fitting lid or plastic wrap. Allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring every so often, for an hour before serving. This allows all the flavors to marry and juices to come out.

So darn fresh and so darn good. This salsa is fantastic served with salty tortilla chips or spooned over grilled chicken or fish!

Makes about 2 cups.
