Simple Salsa Fresca
Like many salsas, tomatoes are used as a base, but with salsa fresca, you leave your tomatoes diced but chunky. Other common salsa ingredients are included—onion, garlic, salt, and cilantro—as well as small jalapeño pieces for a little kick.
Many salsa fresca recipes don’t require the use of a blender or food processor, but I like to use mine for a pulse or two so that the ingredients are combined but just barely.
Enjoy!
