Fresh Cherry Tomato Salsa

Here in Phoenix, the mercury has crawled up to the 104 degree mark. About the last thing I want to do when this happens is cook over a hot stove.  I could resort to using the microwave but, that just is not my style...

Give yourself ten minutes to prep this and a half hour to let this zero (you read that correctly friend) Weight Watchers Points Plus dish to stand.  Here is what you have to have on the cutting board to pull this off;

• 1 Cup Yellow Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 Cup Red Cherry Tomatoes
• 4 Scallions
• 1 Jalapeno Pepper
• 1 Bunch Cilantro
• 1 Lime
• Flake Seas Salt
• Flavor God 'Everything Spicy'

1. PREP WORK - Cut both the red and yellow tomatoes in half. Cut off the root end of the scallions and thinly slice the red and green parts. Remove the jalapeno meat from the seeds/stems and dice the meat. Finely chop the cilantro - combine everything in a medium bowl and season with a pinch of salt and the Everything Spicy to taste. Zest the lime, adding the zest and juice from the lime into the bowl.

2. MIX & WAIT - Toss the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand for 30 minutes.

Though we used this salsa as a side for some chicken sausages, it could punch up grilled chicken, pork, fish, or just plain old baked pita chips.  All around a rather useful addition to the summer cooking kit.
