Time 15m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 medium tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, peeled

salt

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are a great choice for salsa because they are meaty and have fewer seeds. You can also use cherry tomatoes or any other type of tomato you like.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. If you can, use tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions that are in season.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients: You want the salsa to have a chunky texture, so don't chop the ingredients too finely.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño pepper or some cayenne pepper to the recipe.
  • Let the salsa rest: After you make the salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
