Author's Notes: If time permits, refigerate the salsa for two or three hours before serving, so that flavors of the individual ingredients "marry".
Serve it with any of the tortilla dishes, grilled chicken or hamburger, or tortilla chips.
Classic southwest cooking, the other day I made this and was pretty haphazard about measuring .
Turned out GREAT! Even better next day! Next time, lighter on the cilantro, more lime, and MORE GARLIC!!!
