Time 5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6-7 fresh tomatoes - I used a combo of vine, Roma and cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup fresh packed cilantro
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons green chilies
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Prep the tomatoes. If you are using tomatoes that have seeds then you will want to remove them. If you are using cherry tomatoes then you do not need to remove the seeds. To clean tomatoes all you need to do is slice each one in half, lengthwise, trim off the end and scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Then simply slice them.
  • Blend the salsa. Add the chopped tomatoes, red onion, green chilies, cilantro, garlic, honey, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender and blend on high until desired consistency is achieved. I like my salsa chunky so I blended it for about 15 seconds.
  • Serve. Pour the salsa into a bowl and serve it with your favorite tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Look for tomatoes that are fully ripe and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have blemishes.
  • Choose the right onion. There are many different types of onions that can be used in salsa, but some are better than others. Yellow onions are a good all-purpose choice, while red onions add a bit of spice. White onions are also a good option, but they can be a bit milder.
  • Don't skimp on the cilantro. Cilantro is a key ingredient in salsa, and it adds a lot of flavor. Be sure to use fresh cilantro, as dried cilantro does not have the same flavor.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice adds a bright, acidic flavor to salsa. Bottled lime juice can be used, but it is not as good as fresh lime juice.
  • Season to taste. Salsa should be seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a fresh tomato salsa that everyone will love.
