Dragon-Breath Salsa

Now, I realize that should I actually want people to try this recipe, I shouldn't use use descriptions like "dragon-breath" in the title. However, I think it only fair to warn you that, for the sake of others, you will want to stay a good 20 feet away for about 3 days after consuming. It's worth the sacrifice.

Since I have an abundance of tomatoes, a great was to use them is to make some fresh salsa. I don't cook this at all - just toss everything in the food processor and give it a whirl. The "dragon-breath" quality really comes from the fresh garlic. You could use less than I do if you want and not ruin your social life, but what's the fun in that? 

Ingredients: 

• 4-5 tomatoes, seeded and quartered 
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled
• juice of 1 lime
• handful of fresh cilantro
• 2-4 fresh jalapenos, stems removed (this depends on your tolerance and the potency of the peppers, I also threw in some banana peppers since I had them but that's totally optional)
• about 3/4 tbsp vinegar 
• salt to taste 

Throw all the above into a food processor and pulse until everything us finely chopped and well blended. Taste and and add more salt if desired. This is great just as a dip with tortilla chips or added to your favorite dishes. I love the bold, fresh flavors. 

Salsa is so healthy and low-cal so why is everything I want to eat with it so bad? It's a cruel world.
