Mexican fare only gets better when topped with Anna Yeatts' colorful Fresh Salsa. The Pinehurst, North Carolina cook uses ripe tomatoes, crisp onion and a touch of minced serrano pepper, making it just as good as a side dish or appetizer with crunchy baked tortilla chips!

4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Baked tortilla chip scoops

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with chips.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

I used a jalapeno pepper, which is enough heat for me! This is a quick and tasty recipe you can whip up in minutes. Highly recommend, especially with fresh tomatoes and cilantro.
