SALSA VERDE O ROJA CRUDA



Salsa Verde o Roja Cruda image

When tomatoes are at their best, we recommend making the salsa roja. During the rest of the year (even in winter), tomatillos still have plenty of flavor and can be your go-to salsa base.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 oz. tomatillos (about 8 medium), husks removed, rinsed, quartered, or 12 oz. tomatoes, cored, quartered
½ medium avocado (optional; for making salsa verde)
¼ medium white onion, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped
¼ cup (packed) cilantro leaves with tender stems
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
1-2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (optional; for making salsa roja)

Steps:

  • If making salsa verde, blend tomatillos, avocado, onion, garlic, chile, cilantro, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a blender on medium-low speed until salsa is smooth. Taste and season with more salt if needed. (Do not blend on higher than medium speed or your salsa will be airy and taste like a smoothie.)
  • If making salsa roja, blend tomatoes, onion, garlic, chile, cilantro, 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a blender on medium-low speed until salsa is smooth. Taste and season with more salt and lime juice if needed.
  • Do Ahead: Salsa can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh salsa is always best, so use the freshest ingredients you can find.
  • Choose the right tomatoes. For the best flavor, use Roma tomatoes. They are less juicy than other types of tomatoes, so they will produce a thicker salsa.
  • Don't over-chop your ingredients. You want your salsa to have some texture, so don't chop your ingredients too finely.
  • Add some heat. If you like your salsa spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • Let your salsa sit for a while. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Salsa Rio Grande is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a way to add some excitement to your meal, give Salsa Rio Grande a try.
