My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted. Over the years, I have tweaked her recipe to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapeños in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. Hope you enjoy!

- 1 jalapeño pepper , seeded and finely chopped - or more to taste
- 2 limes , juiced

Purslane, Cherry Tomato, and Cucumber Salad
A simple way to enjoy purslane, which is a weed that you might be able to forage in your own backyard! Purslane has more omega-3s than any other plant source and a pleasant lemony flavor. Here I toss it with a simple mix of cherry tomatoes and cucumber for a cool salad with nice crunch.
