Homemade Salsa

Note: This can be made and served immediately, but the flavors are best after a day or two!
Try serving over eggs with a half an avocado for a terrific breakfast!

Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno (optional)
1 tsp lime juice
1/2 to 1 tsp hot sauce (adjust to desired spiciness)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Directions:
1. Finely dice onions (and jalapeno, if using) and put into a bowl with the garlic.
2. Finely chop tomatoes and cilantro, and layer on top of the onions (and jalapeno).
3. Sprinkle lime juice, hot sauce, cumin, and salt on top of the tomatoes.
4. Let sit for 10 minutes to overnight – the acid from the tomato and lime will begin to
break down the onion and jalapeno.
5. Mix, and serve!
