Our first wet snow fall here in Nebraska came last Wednesday. The next day, we uncovered the biggest tomato of all in our last harvest of the season. I decided to try making green tomato salsa with some of the tomatoes; the rest are ripening inside the kitchen.
Next year I hope to have more sun-ripened tomatoes by moving our little square-foot garden to a sunnier location in our yard. But in the meantime, it's nice to know that green tomatoes can be transformed into tangy salsa.

1/4 cup red tomatoes, diced

Was it tasty? I have never eaten green tomatoes, don't know if I like it... Love Amelie
Looks good. With all the tomatoes we've gotten, I don't think I tried making anything before they ripened. =p I'll have to check if there are any more growing out there.
@ Amelie - I liked it, though it was a tad sour compared to red tomato salsa. I may try adding Vidalia onions next time (per the recipe I adapted mine from).
Yes! I love green tomatoes! i can't wait to try your recipe! Stopping by to say hi and follow your blog!
