Tomato Mint Salsa Recipe

In the same way many people love Italian food so much that a part of them wishes they had a vowel on the end of their names, I sometimes think I'm so in love with the flavors of Mexican food that I wish I had some of that culinary heritage. Without having any family recipes to fall back on, I've created my own, and I'll immodestly cop to making one of the most kickass salsas around. But over the years, as the tacos-gone-global trend has gone full-steam, I've made my own international variations too. In this one, the salsa takes a Greek spin. I love a good gyro, but one of the issues I always have with them is that there's too much bread. Using corn tortillas and making Greek tacos, you get all the great Greek flavors, but in mini-gyro form. This tomato mint salsa, along with a tzatziki, makes for the perfect finish. The mint I used recently came from Farmer Lee Jones' Chef's Garden in a CSA-style Seasonal Vegetables and Herbs box, and it was some of the most fragrant, beautiful mint I've ever had the privilege of using. It gave the salsa a fresh, cool feeling that you're not used. Click here to see more Tasty Tomato Recipes.
