Notes

1. Please note, pickled lemons are extremely salty, so you don't need to add any salt to this recipe.
2. Roasted bell peppers can be used in place of, or in addition to, the fresh tomatoes.
3. I prefer to use fresh cilantro in this recipe. If you aren't a fan of cilantro, substitute an equal amount of chopped, fresh dill. 
4. You can use any type of tomato - cherry, grape, roma, etc. as long as you end up with around 2 cups of chopped tomatoes.
