How to make garden fresh salsa
What makes our salsa unique is that we marinate the onions in lime juice.
Mix the lime juice with the onions in a medium bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you dice the tomatoes. Marinating the onions in the lime juice really makes all the difference.
Prepare the tomatoes by cutting them into quarters. Then, remove all the seeds with a spoon. Cut the tomato into strips and dice them.
Combine the marinated onions, tomatoes, cilantro, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough that you can stir without spilling.
Taste the salsa and add salt and pepper, if needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Serve it as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a topping for Mexican and Southwestern style meals. If you need a little inspiration, check out our tacos with ground beef recipe, and these delicious shredded chicken tostadas.
Storing instructions
Store leftover salsa in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Freezing is not recommended. For more information on food storage and safety guidelines visit U.S. Department of Agriculture and foodsafety.gov.
