FRESH TOMATO SALSA 
For nachos, chicken, fish, vegetables - or anytime you need a salsa with zip - this will do the trick!

4 large ripe plum tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (fresh coriander)
1 tbsp. fresh oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. minced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the halves into 1/4-inch and dice. Place in a medium size bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Let sit, loosely covered, at room temperature for the flavors to blend.

Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve within 4 hours.

why would this have to be served within 4 hours why could it not be kept in the fridge for several days and eaten daily until gone?

Hi Juanena,

The reason that it should be used within 4 hours is because over time the tomatoes will lose their crispness.

I often keep salsa in the fridge for a couple of days...the tomatoes just tenderize and have a whole different complex taste to the salsa
