My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy. Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped red onion |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped - or more to taste |
2 limes, juiced |
2 1/2 cups roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix red onion, jalapeno pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Mix in Roma tomatoes, cilantro, and salt; allow to stand 15 more minutes for flavors to blend.
