Homemade Tomato Salsa
The best time to make this fresh tomato salsa recipe is at the height of summer when gardens are bursting with fresh produce and there are plenty of fresh tomatoes available. This recipe tastes even better after sitting for a day after the flavors have a chance to meld together.
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes cored and seeded
- 2 - 3 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 fresh lime juice, about ¼ cup
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh cilantro stems removed and finely chopped
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut 3 of the tomatoes into quarters and place in blender or food processor. Add garlic cloves and half the lime juice. Pulse until thoroughly combined.
- Dice remaining tomato into evenly sized small pieces. Stir into tomato garlic mixture to create a chunkier texture. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro (adjust according to personal preference).
- Add remaining lime and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with your favorite Mexican entrée or by itself with crispy tortilla chips.

Notes
In a pinch, in the middle of winter when fresh garden tomatoes are not available and you are craving homemade salsa, one 15 oz. can of seasoned chopped tomatoes and one fresh Roma tomato chopped can be substituted for the 4 fresh tomatoes.
