    How to Make Zesty Tomato Cilantro Salsa

    1. Mix Ingredients

    Gather a large bowl and mix the chopped tomatoes, minced jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, onions, and garlic. The vibrant colors and fresh ingredients should blend together beautifully, creating a visually appealing and aromatic mixture. Make sure everything is well-distributed, so each bite bursts with flavor.

    2. Add Salt

    Just before you're ready to serve, sprinkle in the salt and give the salsa one last good stir. The salt will enhance the flavors, making the salsa irresistibly tasty. If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to three days, ensuring you continue to enjoy the fresh taste.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Choose the Right Tomatoes

    Select ripe, in-season tomatoes or high-quality canned tomatoes for the best flavor foundation in your salsa.

    Properly Prep Your Ingredients

    Deseed tomatoes to prevent watery salsa and finely dice for even flavor distribution. Mellow onions by soaking in cold water after chopping.

    Cilantro Love

    Use fresh cilantro, including tender stems, ensuring it's washed and dried thoroughly to prevent soggy salsa.

    Balance Your Flavors

    Use fresh lime juice for acidity, adjust chili peppers for heat, and add a pinch of sugar if tomatoes lack natural sweetness.

    Salt Correctly

    Salt enhances flavor but should be added incrementally, with adjustments made before serving as flavors meld over time.
