Crank up the music … It’s time to Salsa!!



This is an easy salsa recipe that doesn’t require any stovetop cooking. I love cilantro for its fresh, fragrant flavor so there’s a lot in this recipe. If you are not so fond of it, you can cut back on the amount, but without it this recipe would be as flat as a foxtrot!

This salsa is great over grilled fish, in tacos or alone with tortilla chips. Mix it with mashed avocado for a delightful guacamole 🥑. The only thing missing is a Margarita!! 🍹


Quick Fresh Salsa

Ingredients:
8 ripe tomatoes - diced
1 small to medium Spanish onion – small dice
1 green pepper – small dice
2 cloves garlic – finely grated 
2-3 green onions – sliced thin
1 bunch cilantro – chopped
2 jalapenos – seeded and minced (or to taste)
2 limes - juiced (edit to taste)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Dice all ingredients. I like to seed and squeeze out some of the tomato juice so the salsa isn't to soupy. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. You can add any types of peppers you like to create your preferred level of heat.

Great to make a day or so ahead, but remember that the flavors will concentrate overnight.
