  4. Amy's Fresh Salsa

    1 medium white onion, chopped
    1 Anaheim pepper, de-seeded and chopped
    1 Jalepeno, de-seeded and chopped
    1 Serano pepper, de-seeded and chopped
    2-4 T. fresh chopped cilantro
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    36oz of canned,petite diced tomatoes, drained. Or 3 lbs fresh, chopped
    Salt & Pepper to taste
    Juice of one lime

    Combine all ingredients and stir well. It's good right away, but better the next day after the flavors get to marinate! This recipe is fairly mild. To make it spicier, don't completely de-seed the pepper or add more!
