Basically you want equal amounts of diced roma tomatoes & white or yellow onion. Slice your tomatoes in half lengthwise and take out the seeds and pulpy stuff. Cut them into strips lengthwise and then cut them the other direction to dice them. You don't want to put them thru the food processor because that turns them to mush. Dice the onions to the same size. Toss all this in a bowl as you are cutting it. Slice thru your cilantro until you get to the stems - throw those away. Now you want to mince your cilantro, then add it to the rest of the mix. Take your jalapenos and do the same as the tomatoes - cut them into very thin strips and then dice them. Cut your limes in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl with everything else. Mix it up and add salt to taste (remember that as each person dips their chip in, the salt from the chip will affect the saltiness of the salsa) You can add more lime juice, salt or anything else to taste. We often add diced up yellow bell peppers too. This salsa makes an excellent topping for lots of different things - you should try it on top of a steak! |
