Shuchi made this delicious  salsa for a pool party last weekend. It's fantastic and super easy to make. This one will become a pool party staple! Ingredients 1 bunch green (spring) onions (3-4 with green stems/leaves) 2-3 tomatoes, sliced cilantro - 1 cup (or 1 small bunch) 1 lime Tortilla chips (for serving) - I like the white chips at Trader Joes that have the aztec symbol Instructions   Add green onions, tomatoes, and cilantro in a food processor. Pulse for a few minutes till finely chopped. Add salt and squeeze lime. Serve with chips!
