FRESH SALSA DIP

I grew up in Southern California, so Mexican food has always been one of my favorites. This salsa is extremely mild, so it's a good choice if you're trying Mexican food for the first time. It's also tasty over baked whitefish or sole.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Choose the right type of tomatoes: There are many different types of tomatoes that can be used for salsa, but some are better than others. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds. Cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes can also be used, but they will need to be cut into smaller pieces.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add some diced jalapeños or serrano peppers. You can also add chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients: Salsa is meant to be chunky, so don't chop the ingredients too finely. A good rule of thumb is to dice the tomatoes and onions into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Let the salsa sit for a while before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together. If you can, let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Fresh salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is also a healthy choice, as it is packed with vitamins and minerals. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a salsa that you will love. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or condiment, reach for a bowl of fresh salsa.
