Rachel's Salsa Fresca



1 large (about ¼ LB) ripe tomato
2 large tomatillos (about 6 oz. total) or 1 small (6 oz.) ripe tomato
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ teaspoon coriander
½ cup chopped yellow onion
½ cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh minced hot chilies or 6 tablespoons canned hot chilies
Salt to taste

Core and coarsely chop tomato. Husk and chop tomatillos. Combine tomato, tomatillos, cilantro, coriander, onion, limejuice, chilies and salt.
Makes 2 ½ to 3 Cups.

If unable to find above ingredients the following may be substituted.
Instead of fresh tomatoes and tomatillos, use 1 can (28 oz.) ready-cut tomatoes. Instead of limejuice use 3 to 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Add 4 gloves minced garlic. Taste will be very different.
