PERFECT SALSA

This salsa is like baby bear's porridge: just right! For me that is, and hopefully for you too. It has just the right amount of heat, with the secret ingredient being liquid smoke, which adds a layer of slight smokiness. It should be allowed to sit, preferably overnight. The flavors develop after being mixed together, so when you taste while making it, realize that you will be able to taste more of the heat after giving it some time.

1 (4 ounce) can diced green peppers

Steps:

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The quality of your salsa will depend on the quality of your tomatoes. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, juicy, and have a good flavor.
Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can, use fresh herbs, garlic, and onions.
Don't over-process your salsa. Salsa is best when it has a chunky texture. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its fresh flavor.
Taste your salsa as you make it. This will help you adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
Serve your salsa fresh. Salsa is best when it is served fresh. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
