THE ULTIMATE SALSA FRESCA



The Ultimate Salsa Fresca image

Salsa fresca is a generic term for any salsa that isn't cooked. There's no right or wrong way to do it - everyone does their own thing. This recipe is my take on what my mom used to make, but I think it's exceptional. (Pat on back, LOL!) Measurements are loose, but the key is the olive oil and mexican oregano. Prep time includes 15 minutes of standing time.

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb red ripe tomato, diced
1 small onion, finely diced
1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, rubbed between your palms to crush
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 -3 serrano chilies, minced (to taste, these are hot!)

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive bowl, combine first six ingredients.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the minced serrano chiles, a little at a time, tasting for "heat" until you reach the level you can stand.
  • Let stand for fifteen minutes to let the flavors meld. A small squeeze of lime juice is also good.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use. Will NOT keep overnight.
  • NOTE: this is such a versatile salsa. Try it in scrambled eggs, then rolled in a flour tortilla (breakfast burrito). Yum!

SALSA FRESCA



Salsa Fresca image

This quick fresh tomato salsa will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But you can pump up the flavor with a little lime juice if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull. Juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy roma tomatoes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dips and spreads, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 small white or red onion, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pound fresh, ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
1 to 3 jalapeño or serrano chiles, to taste, minced (and seeded, if you would like a milder salsa)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, more to taste
1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice (optional)
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place minced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. Add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes or longer. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir in onions. (If your tomatoes are full of flavor, you won't need lime juice.) Ideally, let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating so that flavors will blend and ripen.

EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)



Ex-Girlfriend's Mom's Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo) image

My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.
