Yield: 4 servings

Fresh Salsa

Most salsas use the same ingredients with few variation, here is a recipe that lists ingredients that I have found in most salsa. mix and match the amount for the right flavors  for you.


Remember pepper seeds pack the heat so if you want a hot salsa leave the seeds in, milder salsas take the seeds out, and never touch your face when handling the hotter peppers dangerous things can happen. They suggest wearing gloves since some people have sensitivity to peppers.


5 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, finely chopped
1 can green chilies, chopped
1 jalapeno chile, minced
1 lg. garlic clove, crushed
Salt to taste
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped (fresh)
1 red onion, diced

Prepare ingredients and mix together in a large bowl. Can be served immediately. Use whenever salsa is called for in a recipe. Serve with tortilla chips, use in a layered dip, or serve on top of baked chicken or fish.

For and mild salsa you can change the green chilies peppers to green bell peppers and keep a few more seeds in from the Jalapeño.
