Fresh Tomato Salsa

The one I make for Killer Bunnies Night.

Core and cut into medium dice:
2 medium ripe tomatoes (or 4 canned individual tomatoes

Put in a bowl with:
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped fine (I just use the garlic press)
1/2 white or red onion, diced fine
6 cilantro springs (stems and leaves), chopped
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt

Stir gently and add more salt and lime juice as needed. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Variations:
Add 1 jalapeƱo or serrano chile, chopped fine
Add 1/4 teaspoon crushed toasted cumin seeds
Fold in 1/2 avocado cut into medium dice.
