Help with a Salsa Recipe?

Question

My boyfriends Aunt made an amazing salsa and told me the recipe. It was simple and only had a few ingredients but of course I didn't write it down. I'm trying to remember the recipe, but I don't know any of the amounts. And I cant call her because she is on her honeymoon!!

Here's the list-

tomatoes

cilantro

jalapeno pepper

lemon juice

onion

salt to taste

Does it seem like I'm missing any ingredients and how much of what should I put in?

Thanks

Answer 1

I think the only thing missing is a little chopped garlic, salt and pepper.  Here is my recipe for Salsa Mexicana:

6 roma tomatoes

1/2 cup diced red onions

1/2 cup diced sweet onions

3 jalapeno peppers, seeded, diced

1 garlic clove finely chopped

Juice of 2 large limes

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 teaspoons black pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro



Slice tomatoes in half, gently squeeze out seeds, dice into 1/4 inch pieces. Place in medium size glass bowl. Add diced red and sweet onions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, season with salt and pepper, mix

well. Add juice from limes and cilantro, mix well.

Chill 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove from refrigerator let

rest at room temperature for 20 minutes, mix and

serve. Time in the refrigerator allows the flavors

to come together.

Answer 3

That looks like the makings for Pico de Gallo!!!  My favorite kind of salsa.

* 6 medium Tomatoes diced

* 1 medium Onion diced

* 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro chopped

* 2 to 4 Fresh jalapeño seeded and minced

Put all ingredients in a bowl add 1/2 cup of cold water, mix well. Let set a few minutes.

Sounds good! Thats how we make ours. Just start with a little of everything and taste it and see if you need to add more of one type or two types of the ingredients listed.
