SIMPLY FRESH KEY LIME SALSA



SIMPLY FRESH KEY LIME SALSA image

Categories     Vegetable     Appetizer     Easter     Fourth of July

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 medium shallot
2 tablespoons Pacifica Culinaria Key Lime Avocado Oil
1 medium Serrano pepper
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Chop all ingredients by hand or in a food processor, mix together and serve.

Tips:

  • Select ripe limes: The quality of your salsa depends on the quality of your limes. Choose limes that are firm, plump, and have a deep green color. Avoid limes that are soft, shriveled, or have brown spots.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients make all the difference in salsa. Use freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic for the best flavor.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients: The ingredients in salsa should be chopped finely, but not too finely. You want to retain some texture in the salsa.
  • Season to taste: Taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more lime juice, salt, or cilantro to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Salsa is best served immediately after it is made. The flavors will meld together over time, but the salsa will lose its freshness if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Fresh lime salsa is a refreshing and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, there is a fresh lime salsa recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a way to add some zest to your meal, give fresh lime salsa a try.
