EASY "FRESH" SALSA



Easy

I asked for this recipe at a party 20 years ago, and I've been making it ever since! I always feel a little guilty when people ask for the recipe, because it's so easy!!! The addition of the cilantro makes it great, and fresh tasting. Don't use regular stewed tomatoes; it just won't taste nearly as good.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your salsa.

  • Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. This will help the salsa come together more easily.
  • Add some chopped onion. This will give the salsa a bit of a bite.
  • Add some chopped cilantro. This will add a fresh, citrusy flavor to the salsa.
  • Add some chopped jalapeño pepper. This will give the salsa a bit of heat. However, you can omit the jalapeño pepper if you don't like spicy food.
  • Add some lime juice. This will help to brighten the flavors of the salsa.
  • Season the salsa with salt and pepper. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Chill the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Fresh salsa is also a healthy choice, as it is low in calories and fat. So, next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give fresh salsa a try!
