Farmer's Market Fresh Salsa

Although summer has taken its time reaching us this year, my craving for fresh cold fruits and vegetables hasn't been put off by the lack of heat. The Farmer's Markets in Central Washington are the perfect place to get the fresh ingredients for this salsa recipe from Karl Koester at Four Lakes Winery. A list of some of Central Washington Farmer's Markets is below.

Prep time: 30 minutes
Marinating time: 12 hours (optional)
Serves 10

6 large diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced garlic

1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 cups chopped cabbage
Juice from two limes
