Homemade and Healthy! Restaurant-Style Salsa

We had friends over one day and they brought this delicious salsa with them, it was amazing! My husband and I liked it so much, we asked our friend Krissy for her recipe.  We were delighted to see the ingredients – easy, fresh and healthy.  Now we make this salsa all of the time and bring it to parties and events, it’s always a hit! Try this for yourself, you can adjust the recipe to fit your tastes. And once you get comfortable with the amounts, you can do like I do – just throw things in and mix them together.

Ingredients:

1 15 oz. can of stewed tomatoes

1 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes

1 can of Rotel

Garlic cloves (or powder) to taste – start at about 1/2 tsp.

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp honey (this is the magic ingredient)

2 tbsp jalepenos and juice (more or less depending on the heat you want)

cilantro, stems removed (quickly chop off the bottom – don’t waste time!)

1 onion, diced
