This salsa is excellent. The only thing that I do different is squeeze 3 limes into it and it gives it an awesomee flavor. I eat it on my tacos in place of lettuce and tomatoes...The kids ove it too.

Sounds Great - Here is my option

Bruce - November 28, 2007 07:17:59 AM PST

3 cups VERY RIPE cherry tomatoes - great flavor
1 medium red onion
1 small bell pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon sea salt (lower sodium)

Cut top of Jalapeno Pepper off and microwave for 30 sec.
Clean Cherry Tomatoes, Bell Pepper and Onion
place all ingredients in food processor with large blade and chop until all mixed. Heating Jalapeno pepper releases the heat from the seeds

Refrigerate ovenight

Great with whole grain chips

A Good Salsa Recipe

Tina - June 30, 2007 06:40:21 AM PST

I like this recipe. I use kosher salt in mine and increase it to one teaspoon. I also prefer it with a bit less cilantro, but that\'s just a personal preference. It\'s also great if you add one half of a red or yellow bell pepper chopped.

Just a note...

Tam - September 23, 2007 05:13:20 AM PST

This is pretty close to the pico de gallo recipe I\'ve been using for years except I don\'t bother with vinegar or any acids. I did want to point out, though, that there is a segment of the population for whom cilantro tastes like soap, so use sparingly or not at all unless you know for sure that everyone likes it.

Delicious

I make a homemeade salsa very much like this, except that I use serrano peppers because I like it extra spicy. I also use some lemon juice and diced garlic, or at least the juice from the garlic.

MISSING THE SECRET!

docr99 - May 5, 2009 02:02:04 PM PST

My friend makes this salsa (pico) and a gret corn-salsa, but they are all missing one amazing and colorful ingredient.....a dash of cumin powder. He couldn\\'t believe it! I promise you\\'ll agree; it was missing all along!
*TIP: Use cumin seed (not powder) and bring to a quick boil, the entire mixture, then reduce. Creates a unique, darker flavor and wakes up the jalepeno seeds.
~HAPPY EATING~

This recipe spices up everything you put it on. It has fresh veggies which are always good for you. I mix it with rice.

Clown Shoes recipe......

instacall - March 10, 2009 11:56:31 AM PST

Why would you use vinegar as your acid?



Pico de Gallo is a simple as pie
2 parts Chopped ripe tomatos
(1 part total) onion and jalapenos with seeds and ribs...not for cowards!
Kosher salt, lime juice and Cilantro to taste

how can you screw this up?

Recipe is better this way

disonia1 - May 3, 2008 04:46:05 PM PST

I didn\'t try this recipe but am offering suggestions: Instead of the vinegar, use fresh lime juice, instead of the cayene pepper, use chopped seranno peppers and use a tablespoon of chopped cilantro.

Fresh tomatoes make all the difference.

seandl@sbcglobal.net - May 5, 2009 03:59:59 PM PST

I like to mix in a can of Mexican stewed tomatoes and a small can of tomato paste to give it more flavor and substance.

Sour Salsa

Jerry - March 31, 2009 12:16:26 AM PST

A little bit of tamarind will give the salsa a bit of sour taste

A good basic salsa

hdwelker1 - March 11, 2009 01:56:07 PM PST

Standard salsa preparation. A few hints: use cans of whole tomatoes, top brands for a better tomato taste. Also use seasoning salt (I use Lawry to bring out the tomato flavor). For an added attraction sprinkle a few drops, according to taste of tabasco chipotle sauce for a slight smokey flavor. For those that don\\\'t like too much heat, use anaheim pepper with seeds. Always add fresh lime to taste. There is no such thing a too much cilantro for me but some people don\\\'t like it. With the numerous pepper selections there is no reason to use cayenne. I don\\\'t think vinegar enhances the taste. Also serve the salsa right after preparation preferably at room temp. It will never be better just after preparation. Refrigeration will dull the flavor of the tomatoes. If you have to refrigerate, wait till it lowers to room temp.

TRY ADDING APPLES!!!

sadiejodecker - September 15, 2008 01:49:53 PM PST

I LOOOOVE this recipe! We had a WHOLE bunch of tomatoes left over from our garden. We are NOT hot spicy food people. I am not much into the cilantro either so I used cut up/diced grammy smith apples (about 3/4 of a cup) instead. YUM. The sweetness of the apples brings down the spicy-ness of the pepper and decreases the acidity of the tomatoes. YYYUUUUUMMMMM!

Blender, or food processor much?

morbidly_sane - September 24, 2007 04:50:09 PM PST

Interesting ... I just throw the tomatoes and cilantro and everything in bowl... together? That would be quite difficult to eat.
Where\'s the prep?
DUH chop the stuff up, or put in a food proccessor for a few seconds.
