MEXICAN SALSA 
Friends will enjoy this zippy sauce served with crisp vegetables and/or chips.

1 (28 oz.) can whole tomatoes, undrained
1 c. chopped onion
2 to 4 hot chili peppers
1 tbsp. cooking oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp. cilantro (coriander)

Quarter tomatoes and combine with remaining ingredients in 2-quart microwave- safe bowl.

Microwave (high), uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Cool.

Six large tomatoes, peeled and chopped, can be substituted for canned tomatoes.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
