Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salsa. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes that are free of blemishes.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients: Salsa is meant to have a chunky texture. Avoid chopping the ingredients too finely, as this will make the salsa mushy.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to salsa. If you can, use freshly chopped cilantro, parsley, or basil. You can also add a pinch of cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder.
- Let the salsa rest before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together. Cover the salsa and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve salsa with your favorite chips, tacos, or burritos: Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be used with a variety of Mexican dishes. It's also a great addition to burgers, sandwiches, and salads.
