3 Cups Diced Tomatoes (fresh or canned)
2-3 Fresh Jalapeños, Diced (to taste)
1 Small Yellow Onion, Diced
1 TBSP Honey
2 TBSP Chopped Oregano (I used fresh from my garden, but dried will work -- use half as much if dried)

1/2 TSP Comino/Cumin

Prep all the ingredients, mix them together in a bowl, and refrigerate for at least two hours, best overnight.

Absolutely excellet for dipping.

I believe that living in Texas gives you access to quality Mexican jalapeños.

My jalapenõs came from my backyard. You can't get any fresher than that.

Mine are growing in what used to be a flower bed. I quit growing ornamental plants and flowers outside a few years ago. Well, herbs, fruits, and vegetables are quite pretty, though.

I think I have eaten my limit in sodium from salty tortilla chips today. I really like this salsa, although it is very different from any salsa I've made or eaten before. As I've mentioned before, I am a sucker for sweet and heat combined.

I let the salsa sit in the fridge overnight, and as expected, it was better the next day. The flavors blended together, and the jalapeños mellowed out a little. Still hot, but not as edgy.

I've almost finished a whole bag of (salty) tortilla chips eating the salsa. I don't even want to look at the back of the bag to see how much sodium I've had today.

Hey, I made this! MrsT said she wanted either chips and salsa or bruschetta soon, then I remembered this recipe:

It's definitely a little different than yer average quick fresh salsa. What I picked up on more than anything was the smoky paprika with the undertone of honey.

MrsT noticed the soy sauce and the honey right away. Her comment, when I had her taste it for seasoning, was, "Oh! Chinese salsa!"

Very good!

One other thing I really like is the fantastic color all that paprika gives the salsa. Gorgeous!
