Salsa

A coworker of my husband's shared this recipe with us recently. She had brought this salsa to a work potluck, and my husband loved it & asked for the recipe. I've made it twice now. It is so fresh & yummy!! As soon as my tomatoes ripen, I'll figure out how to make this with fresh tomatoes- but for now, here's the recipe as written (with canned tomatoes).

*This recipe calls for poblano peppers, roasted & diced- here's a website that talks about how to do that. http://inspiredbites.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-roast-and-peel-poblano-peppers.html It's an extra step, but it's not too hard, and the taste is wonderful!! Basically, you rub the peppers with a little oil, broil them, put them in something to steam for a few minutes (like a closed paper bag), remove the skin, and dice. You can use this method for other peppers, too!
