"This recipe came from my friend Barb, and it's a little different than any other salsa I've had. It's best made with fresh, vine ripe tomatoes. You can vary the quantities of just about everything, but I usually make it by the recipe, except I add lots more cilantro (I LOVE cilantro). I usually add more jalapeno, too, but we like things spicy. The italian dressing gives it a nice zing, and you can use any variety. I like the zesty. This will keep for several days in the fridge, and it just keeps getting better! Prep time is mostly chilling time."

A very nice fresh Salsa. Living in Canada it was somewhat difficult getting hominy but I eventually found some. It was a new taste for me and frankly, out of the can I would not thank you for it. In this recipe it worked just fine but I think chickpeas would be just as good and for those of us in more northern areas far easier to find. I did reduce the jalapenos as I am a bit of a heat wimp and used homemade Zesty Italian dressing. I made it early in the morning to have at lunch and I think it will just keep getting better as the day wears on. Thanks so much for posting this easy and versatile recipe!

I am 45 years old and live in central NC with my husband and a very finicky dog. I like to cook when I have the time to be adventurous. I am not a very creative cook, but I can follow a recipe really well (LOL)! I'm learning a lot about flavors that go together, so I am getting more comfortable with experimenting. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/freezer.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/?action=view&current=tish3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish3.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a>
