Tomato Salsa Recipe
This salsa was served on top of a traditional mayonnaise style macaroni salad (see Cooks Illustrated recipe) alongside the Slow Roasted Lamb Spareribs. It was a surprisingly great combination. We served it again the next day for the neighborhood 4th of July BBQ and it was a huge hit. The salsa held up overnight. It made a beautiful presentation mounded in the center of a bowl of macaroni salad
