If you don't have a farmer's market close by, Aldi's has great specials each week on fresh tomatoes, onions, and lemons. Why buy that canned stuff? It's only full of preservatives and will cost you more! If you have a food processor, even better, you can make this in a snap.
More importantly, it is wholesome goodness for your family. No additives here but genuine motherly love!
1 medium sweet onion
2 cloves garlic
3 tab. olive oil
1 lb. fresh tomatoes
1 tab. lemon juice
2 tbs. fresh cilantro
1 small jalapeno (optional)
salt to taste
Chop larger ingredients in quarters and place in food processor. Add rest of ingredients and process using pulse until desired consistency is attained. If you don't have a food processor, chop all ingredients finely and toss. Serve!
