Recipe Notes
1. The Roma tomato can be omitted, but I really like it in there. It's best if you use a tomato that's not super juicy so that's why I usually use Roma's. Any plum-type tomatoes will work.
2. For the purple onions I like to use the small purple pearled onions. I like them because they are smaller so I don't have to waste the rest of the onion. They also have a milder flavor.
3. This recipe is best served fresh but it will keep for a couple of hours in the refrigerator if needed. It can be served the next day as well but may discolor slightly.
4. Variations: Use salsa in place of the tomato, add some hot sauce or Tabasco sauce to taste, add minced garlic for a bit more of a garlicky flavor.
