Simple No-Cook Tomato Salsa

Simple Tomato Salsa

This is an especially easy no-cook salsa that can be served with tortilla chips, nachos, quesadillas, or various types of Mexican fare. Corn kernels and a pinch of ground cumin can be added if desired. I made it to serve with the stuffed jalapeño peppers I plan to make tomorrow. Served chilled or at room temperature.

Normally I would have loaded this salsa with spice, but as I was preparing it for stuffed Jalapeno peppers, I toned it down for a change. Cumin sounds good and I'd also suggest some cayenne.
