Fresh Tomato Salsa Recipe (Step-by-step)
Ingredients
- 4 Tomatoes ripe
- 1-2 jalapenos or serano chiles
- 1 red onion chopped
- 4-5 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. cilantro or coriander leaves
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Use meaty, ripe tomatoes for fresh salsa. Chop it into small pieces along with onion and garlic.
- Chop jalapenos. If you prefer lower heat, take out the seeds before chopping and also use just 1 or ½ jalapenos. I used spicy green chillies as I had run out of fresh jalapenos.
- Chop cilantro.
- Now blend together tomatoes, onion, garlic and chillies so that some chunky bits still remain. You can alternatively just chop them fine and mix well if you like your salsa chunky.
- Add salt and lemon juice to taste. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve immediately.
