    This recipe is super simple to make. I will say that since roma tomatoes are available all year, make it with those if garden fresh tomatoes are not in season. I tried making it with the canned tomatoes that she suggested and there is NO substitution for that fresh taste that only real (uncanned tomatoes provide. . The recipe does not call for lime, but if you watch the video attached to the recipe, you will see she does add lime. Adding the lime, makes a big difference. All in all, it is a great and EASY salsa recipe!!
