Tip

Seeding Tomatoes

Summer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

I make this when I know I am going to have company. Easy to throw together quickly. I use shoepeg or white corn, add green pepper, and 1 minced garlic clove. I use this as a salsa, topping to my garden salad, or hamburger or hot dogs.

Used 2 cans of Rotel instead of the fresh tomatoes and jalapenos. Used lemon juice instead of the lime (what I had). Tasted and looked great!

Have made this several times and I add an extra jalapeno. I always double it so there's some left after my family gets done "testing" it.

This was very easy to make, and very yummy! It makes a huge batch so we took half to a party and had half left to enjoy at home. It was a big hit so I will definitely be making this again!

This is a great salsa recipe! I cut back to just 2 jalapenoes instead of the 4 because we don't like it quit so hot. But the flavor was wonderful. Thanks Mike!

This is a staple at my house for bbq's and we love to take a huge batch with us when we go camping. Great on soft tacos, great on chips. Love this salsa.
