Notes
- I used tomatoes on the vine, but I also really like using Roma tomatoes. 2 Roma tomatoes is about 1 cup of tomatoes, you would need about 8 Roma tomatoes for this recipe.
- Limes have about 2 tablespoons of juice. You can use jarred lime juice if you prefer. You can also swap out lemon juice if needed, though the flavor will be better with lime.
- Cilantro can be left out all together if you prefer. Fresh parsley can give a little freshness without adding the cilantro flavor. Most people either love or hate cilantro, so I won't tell you to lessen it if you dislike it.
