Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 tomatoes -- (preferably Roma), finely diced
4 garlic cloves -- minced
2 jalapenos -- roasted, skinned and chopped (optional)
1 red bell pepper -- finely diced
1/2 red onion -- finely chopped
1 Tablespoon olive oil -- (1 to 2)
1 lime -- juiced (about 2 T. if using bottled)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt -- to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 scallions -- chopped (1 to 2)
1/2 cup cilantro -- or parsley, finely chopped

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Place in refrigerator for up to 12
hours for flavor infusion.

Serves 4 to 6

ChupaNote: to make this more authentic, use 1/2 fresh minced parsley, 2 T.
fresh minced mint, and 1 T. fresh minced dill. Rather than using chili
powder and pepper, I used 1 teaspoon ground Aleppo red pepper (if you
don't have access to Turkish red pepper, use 3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
and 1/4 cayenne pepper mixed with a drop of olive oil. You can fiddle with
the proportions, but it should be sweeter than hot.) You may also replace
the jalapenoes with Persian cucmbers minced finely (with the thin skins
on) or grated.
