MILD SWEET SALSA
I always like blazing salsas. That's just me. But when it comes to my daughter, or my family and guests, I need to have something for those who don't like pure fire. This is one of the salsas I use then. One thing I like about this one, is that the flavoring is a bit fresher and not as typical of the mild salsas that taste like diced tomatoes. I think the basil is the secret weapon- it has a little bite, but it is cool to the taste. Whatever it is, everyone seems to like it!

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a brown paper bag with a banana or apple.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a smoky flavor. To roast tomatoes, simply place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to salsa. Some good options include cilantro, parsley, and basil. 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.
- Don't over-process your salsa: Salsa is best when it has a little bit of texture. If you over-process it, it will become too watery and lose its flavor.
- Taste your salsa as you make it: This is the best way to ensure that it is seasoned to your liking. If you find that it is too spicy, you can add more tomatoes or tomatillos. If it is too bland, you can add more chili peppers or salt.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor and spice to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dip for chips, vegetables, or crackers. No matter how you choose to use it, salsa is a delicious and easy way to add some zest to your meals.
