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.

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:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. If possible, use tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that are in season.
  • Roast the tomatoes and peppers. Roasting the tomatoes and peppers will help to concentrate their flavors and give the salsa a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a variety of chilies. The type of chilies you use will determine the heat level of the salsa. For a milder salsa, use Anaheim or poblano peppers. For a hotter salsa, use serrano or habanero peppers.
  • Don't overcook the salsa. Salsa is best when it is fresh and chunky. Overcooking the salsa will make it mushy and bland.
  • Season the salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, garlic, or oregano.

Conclusion:

Santa Fe salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its fresh, roasted flavor, Santa Fe salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
