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.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salsa. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color and no blemishes.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: To create a more complex flavor profile, use a combination of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Dice the tomatoes consistently: This will ensure that they cook evenly and create a uniform texture in the salsa.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooked tomatoes will lose their fresh flavor and become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and have released their juices.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and basil, add a bright and aromatic flavor to salsa. Chop them finely before adding them to the salsa.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers. Start with a small amount and increase it to taste.
  • Season to taste: Once you have combined all of the ingredients, taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
  • Chill the salsa before serving: Chilling the salsa allows the flavors to meld and develop. Serve it chilled or at room temperature.

Kathyjo's Fresh Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes, including tacos, burritos, nachos, and grilled meats.
