Sara Foster's Heirloom Tomato Salsa

If you don't have a Sara Foster cookbook, you should get one. They are all good. My favorite is Fresh Every Day. It has some of our all-time favorite recipes, including the following salsa recipe.
Her recipes are relatively simple, with lots of fresh, healthy and real ingredients. Sometimes the amount of butter or oil and salt she uses can be a bit much for me, but you can always adjust.

Heirloom Tomato Salsa
**This makes a lot of salsa! If you are not planning on serving it to a big crowd you could definitely half it. Or you could make the whole recipe and after a couple days add a can of black beans to it for tacos, quesadillas or something else.

2 pounds mixed heirloom tomatoes, or any garden fresh variety (4-5 medium), cored and diced
1 small red onion, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, cored, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
grated zest and juice of 1 lime
2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS white vinegar
1 TBS sugar
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Place the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, garlic, red pepper, lime zest and lime juice in a large bowl as you prepare them. Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar, sprinkle with the sugar, cilantro, salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or pepper if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marry the flavors before serving the salsa. It will keep for up to 1 week.
