Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Look for tomatoes that are vine-ripened and have a deep red color.
Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom.
Remove the seeds from the tomatoes: This will help to reduce the amount of liquid in your salsa and make it less watery.
Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
Add some heat: If you like your salsa spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Let the salsa sit for a while before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you can, make your salsa a few hours or even a day before you plan to serve it.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomato Mexican salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences.
