FRESH TOMATO AND CILANTRO SALSA (SALSA FRESCA)

There is nothing wrong with jarred salsa but wouldn't you love fresh salsa instead? It's easy, refreshing, healthier and fresh.

Salsa Fresca also called pico de gallo is what i call a versatile dish. It is served as a relish or mixed into dishes. It complements all kinds of foods, from shellfish or grilled, fried meat to tortillas, fajitas and enchiladas.

Y: 6 as an accompaniment

Ingredients:

WASH EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE CHOPPING.

1 1/2 pounds tomatoes - finely chopped ( i prefer roma tomatoes)
1 medium sized jalapeno - finely chopped***
1 medium sized sweet onions - finely chopped (i prefer vidalla)
juice of 2 big limes
bunch of fresh cilantro- finely chopped
salt to taste

**Go easy with the jalapeno if you don't like hot/spicy salsa.

Mix all ingredients. Taste and adjust.
