I make fresh salsa with:
plum tomato
red onion
jalapeno
garlic
cilantro
a little olive oil
salt & pepper
the 2nd day after it sits a while is the best!0 -
The key to mine is the cilantro and lots of it!0
-
Tomatoes
White onion
Jalapeno
Cilantro
Lime juice
Salt
Minced garlic
You could add black beans and/or corn to try something different.0 -
I always put lots of cilantro and a dash of cummin0
-
lime, cilantro and sea salt! Hmm... now I want to make some!0

thanks! i guess we all make it basically the same, even though i forgot the garlic this time but it stil tasted good.
i also use LOTS of cilantro too, fresh, not dried......YUM YUM!!
edit: i typically use a vidalia onion for a 'sweeter' onion0 -
a little honey and fresh squeezed lime juice. I LOVE the sweet of the honey with the spicy of the peppers! Also some times I add a little diced apple.0

My receipe is very simple:
Blended tomatoes, jalapenoes, onion, garlic, cilantro...secret ingredient is Knorr chicken bouillon. It brings out all the flavors of the other ingredients.0 -

Roma tomatoes,colored peppers, onion, cilantro, jalapino secret ingredients: penzeys salsa seasoning and orange as well as a lime.0

I used to put sugar in mine to take away some of the acidic taste...but now I think I would add yellow or orange bell peppers to it for the sweetness0
-
Lime juice!!
and cilantro.
Fresh salsa tastes really good on al dente pasta too.0 -
Mine is roasted corn, tomatoes, red onions, hefty amount of cilantro, fresh lime juice.0
-
tomatoes, chili's, onion, oregano, garlic, a little vinegar, a little sugar, cilantro, and a little red pepper0
-
Tomatoes
White onion
Jalapeno
Cilantro
Lime juice
Salt
Minced garlic
All of the above, plus tomatillos and sometimes red onion. Don't be stingy with that cilantro!!
This is all also good with corn, chopped red and green bell peppers, and a bit of sweetener. Makes a yummy corn relish!0 -
Delicious ingredients above! Mouth is watering
I also sometimes add mango or pineapple for a slightly different taste. Then I wouldn't add the lime or lemon generally. Another thing we like a lot is to add chunks of avocado which changes it up a bit and use as a condiment (really good with fresh shrimp). That's delicious too.0 -
But if you're into spicy stuff, try this intense salsa (very similar to the red tomatillo salsa you can get at Chipotle):
Chile de Arbol Salsa
1/2 pound green tomatillos, husks removed
1/2 red onion, diced
15 chile de arbol, soaked for 24 hours
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about a fifth of the can)* optional, but adds a nice smoky flavor
1 tablespoon diced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
Third of a bunch of cilantro, chopped
Juice of one lime
Salt to taste
Wash and halve tomatillos and roast in a frying pan covered with foil on high heat until edges are a bit charred.
Sauté diced onions and garlic together in olive oil until onions are soft.
Throw every single ingredient into a food processor or blender and purée until smooth. Keeps well for about a week.0 -
My dh and I make our own salsa also. There's the basics then we add pineapple, a little sugar, and the secret ingredient is liquid smoke, just a few drops.0
