condiment My Basic Fresh Homemade Salsa

[GrowTheHeat]

Here is my basic homemade salsa recipe:
 
2 lbs. tomatoes
1 cup green onions
2 limes worth of lime juice
1/2 tsp. of salt
2 Cups fresh cilantro
Peppers to taste
 
1. Dice the tomatoes and green onions
 
2. Mince the peppers and cilantro
 
3. Mix all ingredients into a large bowl or seal-able container
 
4. To let the flavors combine well let sit for a half hour or more
 
5. Eat within 3 days (the onion becomes overpowering after 3 days)
 
 
Hope you like this recipe!

That sounds like a lot of cilantro.... not too strong? Sounds good, nonetheless!

Great recipe. I make this all the time. For mine I use vidalia onions, and seranos since my family loves it but can't handle heat. Great recipe puts salsa in a jar to shame.

1 1/2 cups cilantro might fit most people better, but I like a strong cilantro flavor.

Pretty much a spot-on salsa cruda recipe.  I like to add a bit of white onion with the green, which makes for a nice color contrast.  Glad you omitted garlic in this particular recipe, too.  Also, very glad you omitted the food processor which makes a foamy mess, IMHO.

Great recipe. Very similar to what I make for my wife, though I use a lot less cilantro. Personally I can't comment on the taste, as I hate raw tomatoes, but the better half absolutely loves it.
