6 medium fresh tomatoes (diced)

1 medium red onion (diced)

1 large green pepper (diced)

2 hot chili peppers

1/4 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

3 Tbs fresh basil (chopped)

2 Tbs vinegar

1 Tbs lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

Servings: 6

The Verdict: Oh. My. Word. LOVE how fresh this tastes! The basil and cilantro aren’t too overpowering but definitely make it very flavorful. I ate this with chips and cheese and sour cream. YUM!
