Appetizer: Cherry Tomato Salsa

Nippy with garlic and fresh jalapenos, this salsa tasted great with crisp cucumber slices or tortilla chips. For the prettiest presentation use both red and yellow cherry tomatoes.

2 cups red or yellow cherry tomatoes (or use some other color)
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1/3 cup jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons each thinly sliced green onion and lime juice
Salt and pepper
About 3 cups cucumber slices
Tortilla chips (optional)

Cut tomatoes into halves. In a food processor, combine tomatoes, garlic, cilantro and chiles; whirl until tomatoes are coarsely chopped. (Or chop coarsely with a knife). Transfer to a bowl and stir in onion and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve salsa with cucumber slices and, if desired, tortilla chips. makes about 2 cups (about 6 servings).
