SPICY GREEN TOMATO SALSA
A tasty twist to salsa; great served over cream cheese with tortilla chips or crackers! A great way to save those green tomatoes when there is an early frost. I created this recipe with the assistance of my daughter-in-law Carolyn and her niece Felicia. Thanks you two. Portion out remaining salsa into bags; freeze or refrigerate.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your salsa has the best possible flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for salsa, as they are meaty and have a low water content.
- Roast your tomatoes before making salsa. Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
- Add some heat to your salsa. This can be done by adding chili peppers, cayenne pepper, or paprika. If you want a milder salsa, you can remove the seeds from the chili peppers before adding them.
- Add some acidity to your salsa. This can be done by adding lime juice, lemon juice, or vinegar. Acidity helps to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes and add a refreshing flavor.
- Add some herbs and spices to your salsa. This can include cilantro, cumin, garlic, or oregano. Herbs and spices add depth of flavor to salsa.
- Chill your salsa before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes the salsa more refreshing.

Spicy tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and flavorful salsa that will be a hit at your next party or gathering.
