**Salsa, a refreshing and zesty condiment, takes center stage in Mexican cuisine, adding vibrancy to tacos, burritos, nachos, and more. Two-tomato salsa, a popular variation, offers a perfect balance of flavors with its combination of ripe tomatoes, zesty onions, and aromatic cilantro. This classic salsa recipe comes with three variations: mild, medium, and hot, catering to different spice preferences. The mild version relies on the natural sweetness of tomatoes, while the medium and hot variations introduce progressively more heat from jalapeños, ensuring a flavor profile that suits every palate.**

TWO TOMATO SALSA
I saw this recipe in a current (July/August 2006) weight loss magazine and knew it was one I had to try! It's on my schedule for this summer; as soon as I can find tomatillos in Little Rock. (I know they are here! I'm just not sure where to look!) It looks like the ideal thing to accompany grilled meats this summer. This has a WW points value of 0 and is a core food. Cook time is refrigeration time.
