Tips:

  • Roma tomatoes: These tomatoes are ideal for salsa because they have fewer seeds and are less juicy than other varieties.
  • Fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Red onion: Red onion adds a sharp, slightly sweet flavor to the salsa. You can also use white onion, but red onion is more traditional.
  • Jalapeño pepper: Jalapeño peppers add heat to the salsa. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeño pepper or use a milder pepper, such as a poblano pepper.
  • Lime juice: Lime juice adds acidity and brightness to the salsa. Fresh lime juice is best, but you can also use bottled lime juice.
  • Salt: Salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients in the salsa. Use sea salt or kosher salt for the best flavor.
