Garden Tomato Salsa
* 4-5 medium or large tomatoes
* 1/2 red onion
* 1 jalapeno
* 1 medium avocado
* 1 can corn
* 1 can black beans
* 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
* juice of 2-3 limes
* salt to taste
Finely dice tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and avocado, and add to a large bowl. Omit jalapeno ribs and seeds for milder salsa. Drain and rinse corn and beans, and add to bowl. Chop cilantro and add to bowl, along with lime juice and salt, to taste. Expert tip: use scissors to quickly snip up cilantro. Enjoy with chips, as a topping on chicken or fish, or on a southwestern-style salad.
