Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Rip tomatoes have a sweeter, more flavorful taste that will make your salsa more delicious.
  • Choose the right peppers: The type of pepper you use will determine the heat level of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano or Anaheim peppers. For a hot salsa, use jalapeños or habaneros.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Sauté them over medium heat just until they are softened.
  • Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity will help to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes and peppers. You can add acidity with lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your salsa before you serve it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or cumin if desired.
