Easy homemade salsa

I had a Tastefully Simple party recently, and ended up ordering their Simply Salsa mix.  It’s a mix of dehydrated veggies and spices, with no crazy ingredients you can’t pronounce.  The recipe on the container is simply to mix 1/4 cup of the mix with a can of diced tomatoes, but that sounded way too tame for me.  So here’s what I did, and if you like spicy foods, you’ll love this.

1 10 ounce can of Rotel, hot (the one with the habaneros – you can tone this down if you want to), slightly drained
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, chopped
1 diced jalapeno, membranes, seeds and all (to tone it down, discard the seeds & membranes)
1 clove (or 2!) of fresh garlic, minced or chopped small
Fresh cilantro, chopped, to taste
1/4 cup Simply Salsa (click here for more info on this)

Just mix all the ingredients together and chill for at least 2 hours.  I left mine overnight.  Very tasty, very spicy!
