As written I would have to give this a four but I added some stuff that I thought brought it up to 5*s. I used 7 roma tomatos (pureed 2 of them), used a whole vidila onion, added 1 c. of corn & 1 c. of black beans (drained & rinsed), I didn't seed the jalapeno & I also added one habanero (I did seed it). At the end, hubby & I argued as to whether it needed a bit of sugar or vinegar, I won the arguement & we added 1 tbp. plus 1 tsp. of white wine vinegar... this really helped bind the flavors together & strangely enough, seemed to add the bit of sweetness my hubby thought it needed. I think we may have just made the best salsa ever!
This is quick, easy and delicious!
Hint though. After chopping the tomatoes, I drain them in a collander for a while to eliminate some of the excess liquid.
This is the same recipe I have been making for ages. Everyone loves it, and there is never enough, no matter how much I make. The great thing about it is that you can simply adjust the amounts of the different ingredients to make it the way you like. I like it spicy, so I throw the seeds in with the peppers. Also, red onion works really well in this.
This is a good basic salsa...now if you really want to make it a California salsa you need to add at least one avocado and do not use so much garlic unless you are looking for a Gilroy taste. Gilroy California is known for its garlic every-thing...garlic perfume garlic ice cream etc. Lets just stick to our basic salsa. Buen provecho!!!
OUTSTANDING recipe. I let it sit over night so let the ingredients meld together and man oh man was this salsa wonderful. I will make it again and again. Thank you Cecilia D for sharing such a greatrecipe with us.
This Salsa turned out GREAT!! I did add a fresh green bell pepper from our garden and used 6 tomatoes. I only used a 1/4 cup of cilantro to make it to my familiys' taste. Thanks for the recipe!
Too much cilantro....if I try it again I will definitely cut back!
ICK! Too much cilantro and too much garlic. I ended up throwing it away. Basic idea is good just reduce cilantro and garlic so it isn't so strong.
What a delicious recipie I added an avacado made it just right for us.
