Christine's Salsa

I LOVE my salsa!  I am snobby now and won't eat jarred salsa.
I don't have a recipe but here is what I put in:
tomatoes
cilantro
green onions
serrano pepper
canned jalapeno peppers
lemon
salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic salt
tomato sauce if needed
I use 1/2 - 1 serrano pepper.  They are super spicy and I am usually making salsa for people that don't like spicy.
I use just 1-2 of the canned jalapenos.  Then I pour a little bit of the juice from the can in.
If I use about 3-4 large tomatoes I use one bunch of cilantro and green onions.
Sometimes I chop it and sometimes I blend it.  Depending on how lazy I feel.
I spice to taste.

Sue's Salsa

I don't have recipe for this, but here is what I do:

5-6 Roma Tomatoes
Red onion (1/2- whole depending on size and how much onion you like)
A head of clianto- pull off leaves
Cumin, Garlic Salt, and Lime to taste
1 jalapeno (depends on if you like spice or not)

Put it in the food processor and puree until you like the consistance

For a variation: you can add a can of fire roasted romatoes along with the roma tomatoes to make fire roasted salsa. Yummy! Just make sure to add in some extra spices and onion if you add the extra can of fire roasted tomatoes.
