This very basic salsa is made throughout Mexico as standard fare for all  
preparation of food. The common name is “salsa de la cocina” (kitchen  
sauce). What makes this so wonderful is that it is much higher in vitamin C  
than most foods and also high in vitamin A.  
1.  
Simply dice all ingredients and place in a bowl and allow to age for  
several hours. In Mexico it is accustomed to add some flat beer. It  
gives it a nice taste and helps preserve it. I add 1/4 teaspoon of ascor-  
bic acid (vitamin C) powder. It keeps nicely for about 10 days. If you  
are going to keep it around longer add 1 tablespoon of virgin olive oil.
