Fresh Tomato Salsa

This fresh salsa is best with heirloom tomatoes, but make it with any tomatoes you have, just as long as they are ripe and juicy. Just chop the veggies, mix, and allow to sit for 15 minutes or so before serving. Start with a little jalapeño and add more to your desired heat level.
