  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes. This will add depth and complexity to your salsa.
  • Add some heat: If you like your salsa with a little kick, add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Balance the flavors: Salsa should be a balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. Add a little bit of sugar or honey to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. You can also add some lime juice for a refreshing flavor.
  • Let the salsa rest: After you make your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
