Making homemade salsa is super easy! Here’s a basic recipe for a fresh and tasty salsa
Ingredients:
- 4 medium tomatoes (diced)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1-2 jalapeños (deseeded and finely chopped, adjust to your spice level)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp sugar (if you want a bit of sweetness)
Instructions:
- Prepare your veggies: Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the onion, jalapeños, and garlic, and chop the cilantro.
- Combine ingredients: In a bowl, combine all the chopped veggies with the cilantro, garlic, and lime juice.
- Season: Add salt to taste and a pinch of sugar if you’d like a touch of sweetness.
- Mix: Stir everything together. If you have time, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes for the flavors to meld.
- Taste & Adjust: Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (more lime, salt, or heat).
- Serve: Serve fresh with tortilla chips, tacos, or whatever you’re craving!
If you want to go for a roasted version, you can char the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños on a grill or in the oven first for a smoky flavor.
