Many of my friends have gardens or farms, Which is a very good thing because I have a very black thumb. I have come to rely on the bounty of produce they gift me each summer and fall. My family will not eat plain old tomatoes but we will all eat Low-Carb Gluten-Free salsa. This recipe is my answer to no tomatoes on our salads. I like the more subtle taste of Serrano peppers, but if you prefer jalapenos then go for it. If you are a canning person, go ahead and make as much as you like and can it for use in future months or to save for hostess gifts. I promise your host will thank you for it!

Notes

Because the oils in Serrano pepper can burn your skin and eyes, I suggest wearing disposable gloves when cutting them. Avoid touching your face while cutting the peppers and remove gloves carefully and wash hands well with soap and water when done.

VARIATIONS
Jalapeno peppers can be used in place of Serrano peppers.
Lemon juice can be used in place of lime juice.
