A few years ago my husband and I went to Puerto Vallarta with his family. At the resort we visited all of us became incredibly addicted to a fresh salsa they served...essentially tomatoes, onions, jalapeno and lime juice. How could you go wrong with something like that??
Ever since we visited that resort, we have attempted to re-create the salsa at home and this recipes is quite good!
You can control the spice by using a serrano instead of jalapeno for a hotter salsa. Or, use the white membrane and seeds from the jalapeno to make a spicier version as well. I think that roma tomatoes make for the best tomatoes for this because they tend to be a bit drier than vine. And of course, you can go with a larger dice to emulate a pico de gallo.
Ingredients to make approximately 1 cup:

This takes me back to my honeymoon, looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way to do salsa! So much quicker and more fresh tasting than roasting the tomatoes first. I love it!
