THE ULTIMATE SALSA FRESCA

The Ultimate Salsa Fresca image

Salsa fresca is a generic term for any salsa that isn't cooked. There's no right or wrong way to do it - everyone does their own thing. This recipe is my take on what my mom used to make, but I think it's exceptional. (Pat on back, LOL!) Measurements are loose, but the key is the olive oil and mexican oregano. Prep time includes 15 minutes of standing time.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb red ripe tomato, diced
1 small onion, finely diced
1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, rubbed between your palms to crush
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 -3 serrano chilies, minced (to taste, these are hot!)

Steps:

In a non-reactive bowl, combine first six ingredients.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the minced serrano chiles, a little at a time, tasting for "heat" until you reach the level you can stand.
Let stand for fifteen minutes to let the flavors meld. A small squeeze of lime juice is also good.
Refrigerate until ready to use. Will NOT keep overnight.
NOTE: this is such a versatile salsa. Try it in scrambled eggs, then rolled in a flour tortilla (breakfast burrito). Yum!

ULTIMATE RESTAURANT SALSA

Ultimate Restaurant Salsa image

I have been trying for years to duplicate the salsa served in authentic Mexican restaurants. I've tried soooo many recipes, and none of them ever panned out. Too juciy, too pasty, too sweet, too bland....So I came up with my own through much trial and error. This recipe makes a medium-hot temperature. Warning: This is addictive! The only way to make it better is to serve it with fresh guacamole.
