                    I love the salsa served at my favorite Mexican restaurant, so I set out to match the flavor. I think I've achieved my goal. It's so easy to make in the microwave. Now we can enjoy salsa anytime. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3 medium tomatoes, chopped  |  
                                                1 green onion, sliced  |  
                                                1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced  |  
                                                3 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper  |  
                                                1 tablespoon lemon juice  |  
                                                1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon chili powder  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                tortilla chips  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion and garlic. Add green pepper, lemon juice and seasonings; mix well. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds or until heated through. Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Yield: 4 cups.                              |
