Fresh salsa

Makes approximately 1 gallon of salsa

Ingredients

12 large fresh tomatoes washed and diced 1/4 inch

2 large sweet onions diced fine

4 peppers assorted colours washed diced 1/4 inch

1 large seedless cucumbers washed diced fine with skin on

4 parsley root washed peeled diced fine

4  lemons washed ( fine zest )using the juice and zest of the four lemons then put into the mixture

1  small bunch cilantro washed start at the stems and dice fine using all the stems and all of the leaves

 ( always place in  and remove the herbs from the water allowing dirt to fall to the bottom)

1 small bunch parsley washed using the stems and leaves dice fine

2 tsps sea salt ( add more or less depending on your taste)

1 jalapeño pepper washed and diced fine using seeds and veins ( if you want less heat remove seeds and veins)

Place all ingredients in bowl and mix well

After mixing let stand at room temperature for 1/2 hour

Then place ingredients in a collander inside a bowl  and put in fridge ( this will remove water from the mixture) remove at much liquid as you desire 

This is ready to used

If you want to make a traditional salsa you can take 1/3 of the mixture and blend in a blender ( I use a vitamixer)

Return blender mixture to fresh salsa and mix well
