    Ingredients


    1-1/2 cups finely chopped tomatoes (3 medium)
    1 fresh Anaheim pepper or one 4-ounce can diced green chile peppers, drained
    1/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper
    1/4 cup sliced green onions
    3 to 4 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro or parsley
    2 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice

    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper

    1. Seed and finely chop hot peppers.* In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, Anaheim pepper, sweet pepper, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

    *Test Kitchen TipBecause chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
    Make-ahead tip: Prepare as directed through Step 2. Cover and chill in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
