FloridaYankee's yummy salsa

4 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 jalapeƱos seeded and diced, ribs removed if you don't want the salsa to be too hot.
1 cubanelle pepper, seeded and diced
1 large red onion, diced
juice of a lime, zest of the lime if you want.
1 bulb roasted garlic
1 tbsp cumin
salt, pepper and cilantro to taste (or omit if it's yucky)

To roast garlic: cut top off bulb. Place bulb on square of foil and drizzle with olive oil. Lightly wrap foil around the bulb so it's in a little foil "tent". Roast at 350 for an hour and cool completely.

In a mixing bowl squeeze the roasted garlic out of the "wrapper". Add salt, pepper and cumin. Mix in lime juice to form a paste. Add tomatoes, onion and peppers. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Eat with home made tortilla chips or serve over fish or chicken.
