My current favorite is a simple Salsa Cruda that is easy to put together and well-liked as a...
...condiment for tacos, burritos, carnitas or just as a dip with chips.
Salsa Cruda, Michael's Version
1 large or two medium white onions, diced
2 medium ripe tomatoes, cored and diced
2 ripe hass avocados, seeded, peeled, diced
1 large fresh jalapeno pepper, finely minced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 medium bunch fresh cilantro (to taste), coarsely chopped
3 limes, juiced
salt, to taste
Place onion in a large sieve and run cool water over them. Drain well.
Place onion in a bowl and add the rest of the produce. Squeeze the juice of three limes over the top. Toss until just mixed. Add salt to taste. Toss again.
Serve as a condiment for tacos, burritos, carnitas, carne asada, etc. Great with sturdy chips, as a dip.
Notes:
This is a roughly chopped salsa and should not resemble the stuff that comes out of jars. Each ingredient should be distinguishable.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno if you don't want the heat.
Fresh limes are essential. No re-con stuff.
This salsa is heavy on onions. Use white onions and rinse them. They are tasty and not too strong that way.
Enjoy!

Yes!
Chop your tomatoes.
Then, add: fresh cilantro, the fresh chiles from the garden, (this year we have black czech, anaheim, poblano, guallio, bell, Holy Moly, and jalapeno), add fresh garlic, a splash of tequila, some French sea salt, a grind of pepper, and then the juice of couple of limes.
Ambrosia.

Rec: East Indian Salsa. Reserve the seeds to add more fire!
I enjoyed this but wish I had reserved the seeds to add more fire!
I've made this as a side for tandoori chicken and it was delicious.
