All About Salsa

February 26, 2011 By Delia

I am a big fan of salsa and dishes that are served with it. I like the fresh variety a whole lot better than the canned or bottled ones. They are tastier and they compliment even the simplest food like chips well.

You can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate it. It usually lasts for a week.

 

Tomato Salsa

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons finely chopped white onion

2 small cloves garlic, minced

3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)

2 hot chili peppers, Serrano or Jalapeno, finely chopped

2 to 3 tablespoons minced basil

1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons tomato sauce or ketchup

Salt

Combine all the ingredients. Mix well and keep in a covered container. Refrigerate before serving.

 

Salsa Verde

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb tomatillos, husked

1/2 cup chopped white onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup cilantro or basil leaves

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

2 Jalapeño peppers OR 2 Serrano peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped

Salt to taste

Combine all the ingredients. Mix well and keep in a covered container. Refrigerate before serving.

 

Mango Salsa

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced

1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 Jalapeño chili, minced
