EASY HOMEMADE TOMATO SALSA (WITHOUT JALAPENO)

It had been really hot these few days. I started to yearn for cold snacks at night. Since most of our night snacks were chips, I thought salsa would be a good, healthy choice. But it was not easy to get fresh jalapenos in my neighbourhood supermarkets and stalls, in fact, in all my 14 years staying here in this part of the island, I never saw them. So this salsa sadly did not have this main Mexican ingredient, yet the taste was not too far off from how I wanted it to be. Happy =)

Some people do not like the taste of cilantro leaves, but this herb is actually very good for our kidneys maintenance. The bell peppers and lime have anti-carcinogenic properties, the onions and cumin are also good for health as they help to raise our immunity levels. Tomatoes are full of Vitamin C.... so let us dig in!
