Last of the Best!

I can't think of anything I love better than a good, home-grown ripe tomato fresh out of the garden. During the height of the growing season I can be just as happy with a juicy tomato, mayonnaise and white bread sandwich as any steak from the finest steakhouse! Now that the season for tomatoes is sadly coming to an end, it is time to take advantage of what's left of this versatile and delectable produce with some fresh salsa! And just in time to serve it along with your favorite corn chips this weekend as college football kicks off and so does the tail-gating! Enjoy!
Fresh Tomato Salsa
4 cups diced tomatoes
3/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1-2 jalapeno pepper - seeded and minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.
