Authentic Mexican salsa, known as "salsa fresca" or "pico de gallo," is a staple in Mexican cuisine. Here's a classic recipe for you to try:
3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 serrano or jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (adjust to your heat preference)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste
1. In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, and peppers. 2. Add the chopped cilantro and pour in the lime juice. 3. Season with salt and mix well. 4. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. 5. Taste and adjust the seasoning or lime juice as needed.
Enjoy your salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a fresh topping for grilled meats. It's best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two.
