This bright salsa is made with fresh summer tomatoes. It's quick and easy to make in the blender and perfect for snacking or taco night. 
"Mama, do we have any guacamole?"
"No, I'm sorry, we don't"
"Can we make some?"
"We don't have any avocados right now."
"Oh. Do we have any salsa?"
"No, sorry."
"Oh. Can we make some?"
"Yes! You're right little lady, we do have the ingredients for salsa!"
That was a real conversation that my youngest daughter and I had a recently. It made me happy to see her come up with ways to make her snack. I love that she knew that salsa doesn't just come from a tub at the grocery store, but from tomatoes, onions, and other ingredients we probably had at home. We pulled an old salsa tub out of the recycling, checked the ingredients, and started making a recipe for our own homemade salsa. Making our salsa took about 5 minutes to whip up in the blender, and was just as tasty as the store bought version. My girl and I were both proud to have so easily made salsa ourselves and she got to work snacking on the salsa and chips. Since then, I've been making homemade salsa regularly. It's just so easy.
