I'm a high school football coach who also likes to cook and garden. This salsa is a hit with my wife and our 4 kids, and when we entertain friends and fellow coaches.—Mike Bass, Alvin, Texas

Seeding TomatoesSummer 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.

Delicous and Healthy!! I made a half batch (just two of us). After snacking on it with chips the first night, I topped marinated, grilled chicken with it the next night. There was still quite a bit left over, so I cooked up some quinoa and stirred in the rest. It was great!

This is going to be a favorite! We've only made it once so far, but it was really good! We added a minced clove of garlic, some pepper, & additional salt. I think we'll probably add an extra jalapeno next time, because we felt it needed a little extra kick. But the mix of flavor was really good!

Served this at my home for a Christmas gathering. I had to turn on the computer to print out the recipe. Easy and good. What more can you ask.

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.
