THE SAUCY SENORITAS' SALSA
The name alone has you wanting some, doesn't it? The contributors are: Boomette (France) - I suggest adding jalapeno cause I can be spicy sometimes (and HOT!) Evelyn/Athens - I suggest adding mango because I love the tart/sweet element it would add - and that's me basically...ask my students. TheGrumpyChef - I suggest onion, 'cause sometimes I cry for no good reason at all! Galley Wench - I'll add cumin, for "Spicy" Bellinda - You either hate us or love us ('us' being me and garlic) Sue L - cilantro - because when I shower, I always come out fresh and even have a hint of soapiness Slatts - I would like to add a red bell pepper to our salsa because the color reminds me of love and caring. Virginia Cherry Blossom - I am most like lime juice because I have a sweet smell (nice) but I have a tarty taste (honest) - I bring out the best in people and salsa Breezermom - tomato, because I make everything more colorful and bright! Queen Dana - I'm like olive oil because I'm silky and full of good fat.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and become mushy.
- Use a variety of chiles. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. If you like it hot, use more serrano or habanero peppers. If you prefer a milder salsa, use more Anaheim or poblano peppers.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless ways to make salsa. Try adding different fruits, vegetables, or herbs to find your perfect combination.
- Make a big batch. Salsa is great for parties, potlucks, or just snacking on. It also freezes well, so you can always have some on hand.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. If you've never made salsa before, don't be intimidated. It's easy to make and there are endless ways to customize it to your taste. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
