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.

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.

I also added green and red bell pepper and minced garlic-about 3 cloves. I get rave reviews with this recipe.

I love this salsa! It tastes so fresh. Much better than any store-bought version.
