Fresh Tomato Salsa

Roma tomatoes make the best fresh tomato salsa. It’s a family favorite savory snack on summer time when there is abundance of fresh tomatoes from the garden. I tried couple of recipes and formed my own version and mix of ingredients.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 lbs Roma tomatoes Chose the red but not too ripe.
• 1/2 cups Thinly sliced yellow onions
• 1/4 cup Thinly sliced shallot
• 1/2 cup Chopped cilantro
• 1 Jalapeno (seeded)
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 pc Lime (juiced)
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tsp Salt
• 2 tsp Pepper flakes Optional and adjust based on your preference
• 1 tsp Ground pepper
• 1/2 tsp Ground cumin

Method

 

1. Core tomatoes and cut into half for food processor. You can also manually slice into tiny cubes but I prefer food processor to get a better consistency.
   
2. Process tomatoes and jalapeno in food processor. I prefer to manually slice the onions, shallot and garlic to make it consistently sliced very thinly.
3. If you want a chunky salsa, combine all ingredient in a separate bowl and mix thoroughly. If you want a thinner version, add all ingredients in the food processor and make few pulses to combine until it reaches the consistency you desire.
   
4. Serve with tortilla chips or preserve on a clean mason jar and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
