Easy Fresh Salsa
This easy fresh salsa can be whipped up in just 10 minutes and tasty as can be.
Ingredients
- 4 cups (20 ounces) diced tomatoes see note, chopped and drained
- ¾ cup (3 ounces) finely diced peppers see note
- 1 ½ tablespoons (½ ounce) finely diced onions
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lime juice from 1 lime
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro 1/2 bunch
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well to combine. Best served fresh. Leftovers are still tasty but salsa will be runnier as liquid drains from the tomatoes.
Recipe Notes
1. You can use any type of tomato in this recipe. We love to put in a variety of different kinds, including tomatillos. Roma or other plum-type tomatoes are nice because they’re not as runny as regular tomatoes and the salsa will be a little thicker.
2. Our family likes things SUPER mild so we usually just make this salsa with some combination of sweet bell peppers, banana peppers, and maybe an anaheim pepper without the seeds. That’s about as much heat as we like around here. But feel free to substitute spicier peppers (jalapenos, etc) to your liking.
