Heirloom Tomato Salsa

The heirloom tomato is the special ingredient in this homemade salsa, with a unique flavor. Plus, these tomatoes may actually have more phytonutrients than the more common varieties.
Serves 6 

Ingredients:
3 heirloom tomatoes, chopped
¼ c red onion, minced
¼ c Anaheim pepper, minced
1 T garlic powder
½ tsp cumin, ground
2 T fresh cilantro, minced
½ lemon, juiced

Mix all ingredients in a food processor. If using a blender: 1) make sure to pulse the mixture, not blend, and 2) break from pulsing to stir tomatoes, which will help give them an even consistency.
