Garden Salsa

It's garden salsa season!  An abundance of garden tomatoes has led to a daily snack of chips and salsa.  This year I have discovered that heirloom tomatoes make amazing salsa.  They are so sweet and have less seeds, but you can also make this salsa with ANY variety of tomatoes you have on hand.  Each batch tastes slightly different due to the tomatoes, but it is always delicious!

In a food processor combine: 
3-5 cups tomatoes (or about 5 LARGE tomatoes)
1/2 of one white onion
2 cloves garlic
juice from 1 lime
1/4 cup cilantro
1 bell pepper (any color)
1-2 jalapeños (seeds removed)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp Tone's Southwest Chipotle Seasoning*
1/2 tsp salt (add more at end to taste)

-Optional:  add 2 drops lime essential oil if you want a stronger lime taste.  You can also use another type of onion if you prefer that.
*Feel free to experiment with other spices in place of this if you don't have it.  You can double the amount of cumin, or add some chipotle seasoning, smoked paprika, chili powder, etc.
