Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for salsa because they are meaty and have fewer seeds. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives salsa a smoky depth of flavor. You can roast tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and oregano add brightness and flavor to salsa. Use them sparingly, as they can easily overpower the other ingredients.
  • Don't over-process your salsa: A chunky salsa has more texture and flavor than a smooth salsa. Use a food processor or blender to pulse the ingredients until they are coarsely chopped.
  • Season to taste: Salsa should be flavorful but not too spicy. Start with a small amount of chili peppers and add more to taste. You can also add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
