Fresh Cilantro Salsa

There's really nothing better than fresh salsa and if you're like me and love Cilantro (I guess it tastes like soap to a lot of people), fresh cilantro salsa is the best.

I created this recipe back when I was dealing with leaky gut and I was reacting to garlic. So feel free to add garlic if you like, almost all of the conventional pre-made salsas have garlic.

I love cilantro (did I already say that?) and lime in salsa and I made sure to use plenty of both in this recipe, you'll have to let me know what you think when you try it.

I love this stuff on top of a taco bowl or scooped up with a crispy pork rind.

What's your salsa delivery device of choice?
