SALSA VINAIGRETTE



Salsa Vinaigrette image

Categories     Blender     Citrus     Onion     Tomato     Vegetable     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Lime     Jalapeño     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup chopped peeled seeded vine-ripened tomato (about 3/4 pound)
3 tablespoons chopped onion
1 small jalapeño chili, chopped (wear rubber gloves)
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander

Steps:

  • In a blender blend together tomato, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt to taste until smooth. With motor running, add oil in a stream and blend vinaigrette until emulsified. Stir coriander into vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Salsa vinaigrette is best made with ripe, juicy tomatoes. This will give the salsa a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
  • Choose a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the taste of the salsa vinaigrette. Look for a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and oregano, will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salsa vinaigrette. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients: The ingredients in salsa vinaigrette should be chopped into small pieces, but not so small that they lose their texture. You want the salsa to have a bit of crunch.
  • Taste the salsa vinaigrette before serving: Once you've made the salsa vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.

Conclusion:

Salsa vinaigrette is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used to dress salads, tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. It's also great as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. With its bright, fresh flavor, salsa vinaigrette is a surefire way to add some zest to your meals.
