Best Salsa Recipe

[hoyeon]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my go-to salsa recipe that I make for every gathering. It’s super fresh, zesty, and always a hit. Here’s how I do it:

Ingredients:

• 6 ripe tomatoes, diced
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp cumin (optional, but adds a nice depth)
• A pinch of sugar (optional, to balance the acidity)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
   • Dice the tomatoes and place them in a large bowl.
   • Finely chop the red onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
   • Mince the garlic and add it to the mix.
2. Mix It All Together:
   • Squeeze the juice of two limes over the ingredients.
   • Drizzle with olive oil and add salt, pepper, cumin, and a pinch of sugar if you like.
   • Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
3. Let It Marinate:
   • For the best flavor, let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together nicely.
4. Serve:
   • Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, tacos, or pretty much anything! It’s super versatile.
     

I hope you all enjoy this as much as my friends and family do! Let me know if you try it out or have any tweaks of your own. Happy snacking!

Excellent recipe as written. It is also easy to just use what you have on hand.

Homemade salsa is unbeatable! Do you go for a chunky or smooth texture? Adding a bit of roasted garlic can take it to the next level!
