Just general measurements, there really isn't a right or wrong and add in any extra spices you're fond of.
One tomato, about the size of a baseball or 3/4 C chopped
1/4 C (heaping) onion, diced
1/4 C bell pepper, seeded and diced (I used red)
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1 Tblsp parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 lemon or lime, squeeze all the juice out
S&P to taste
-Mix, let sit for an hour-enjoy.
Earl says, I'll even help weed the garden to pig out on burritos!
What do you add to your salsa?
Sadly I cannot eat salsa, but yours looks wonderful and low humidity in Jersey is the best (I grew up in Pennsauken) Enjoy! Kit
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see this recipe posted. Great idea since my tomatoes are doing very well too and I have jalapeno's also. Thank you for sharing.

Oh I'm SO envious of your weather! Last night it was 100 degrees at 7:00 p.m. AY YI YI. I love salsa.....and cilantro is a must for me. Tomatillo are also good!
ReplyDeleteWe are still tomatoless in the midwest--sob! Surely we'll have some soon. Your salsa sounds delicious. We love it on tacos and scrambled eggs and lots of other ways as well.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
I'm jealous! Every morning I run out to check the tomatoes-lots of green ones! Can't wait to make salsa. My favorite!

Black bean, corn, and avacado!
ReplyDeleteI just put you on my blog roll because every time I come here I spend an outlandish amount of time. Love your stuff.

That's exactly how I make my salsa! I usually use lime juice and cilantro- homemade is always better than the store bought.I bet Earl is a great helper. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks delish!! I can salsa also, and guess I will do some more before the tomatoes play out because everyone loves it. I am gonna try some your way also.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty much how we make our salsa but not as much jalapeno and ALWAYS cilantro. Delish.
ReplyDeleteEarl, you are so cute AND helpful!
ReplyDeleteEarl is adorable...me too..cilantro, lime and avocado...your's looks wonderful
ReplyDeletei wish i was there for burritos...one of my favorites !!!
Hello from Frog Hollow Farm! The weather today has been just perfect, so much better than the last week or two. Our tomatoes are not ripe yet, but seeing yours gives me hope. This recipe looks simple and delicious, and so seasonal. I'm working on organizing my recipes by season - so far it's going well! Ciao, bella!

Love salsa, especially fresh.
ReplyDeleteI hate cilantro (I'm one of the people that taste soap!) so I use parsley.
I love Salsa but it can't be too hot because of my reflux. Anything with fresh tomatoes makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE fresh salsa. So much better than the canned. Even my canned.
ReplyDeleteFresh, homemade salsa...love it! My favorite breakfast is tortillas, scrambled eggs and salsa. The way you make it is just the way I like it.
ReplyDeleteHere is my fast salsa recipe:

Now when I can salsa, that's a different recipe!
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for ripe tomatoes.
Best greetings, Johanna
Use two tomatoes, a whole onion, whole bell pepper, four jalepenos and a can of rotel. Now you have enough for a party!
ReplyDeleteI make my salsa the same way, if I have them, I may add some scallions. I like fruit salsas, too. xo,
ReplyDeleteFresh salsa (and tomatoes in general) are simply what summer is about. Yours looks fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Gail
I not only want some of your salsa, I want some of your weather to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteI'll even share with Earl.
Your gardener is muy caliente! Your salsa looks REALLY good.
ReplyDeleteYour tomatoes are beautiful. Mine are struggling in this heat!
ReplyDeleteNot fair-you made me hungry! That salsa looks so fresh and delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour salsa looks yummy. My recipe has all the same ingredients as yours does. Sometime I might use red onion instead, but not a big difference.
ReplyDeleteWe ♥♥♥ homemade salsa! Looks yummy & refreshing. I'll bring the Lime Tortilla Chips & we can have coffee & pie for dessert. *wink*
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see someone uses fresh tomatoes to make salsa. All I can find are recipes for canned tomatoes :(
ReplyDeleteMy tomatoes aren't ready yet....but well on the way. Can't wait for that first RED one:)
ReplyDeletesounds so good!! love fresh salsa. love the name of your blog too!
ReplyDeleteYay! Tomato season is here. Thanks so much for sharing on Friday Food on Momtrends. I love checking out all the foodie creations. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much the same recipe I use (I use the jalapenos & cilantro)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better in the summertime than homemade salsa! It is my favorite! I'm going to try our your recipe... I always love trying new recipes and mixing and matching people's various ingredients. :D
