1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
5 jalapeno peppers, stems and seeds removed
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chilies

  • Put chopped tomato and onion mixture into large plastic bowl and add all other ingredients.
  • Cover with lid and place in refrigerator so flavors can combine.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salsa. Look for tomatoes that are ripe, juicy, and have a deep red color.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes to create a more complex flavor profile. For example, you could use a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. If you have time, roast your tomatoes before making your salsa. You can do this in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, can add a lot of flavor to your salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add some jalapeños or serrano peppers. You can also add some cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Let your salsa sit: After you've made your salsa, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
