Chunky Salsa

There is no substitute for fresh
salsa,
so give up that bottled stuff and go for it! This homemade salsa is easy to
control heat-wise. If you do not like it hot, it  is just as good without
the
chile.  Feel free to adjust to your own tastes. Great with
Mexican dishes
as a condiment or simply with tortilla chips as a snack or
appetizer.
