The key to this fresh salsa recipe, is in the chopping.
It will take you 5 minutes, max, to make this and it is a true flavour bomb when you taste it! Knife Skills It’s literally some tomatoes chopped up really small, mixed with some finely diced red onion and garlic, a glug of olive oil, lots of fresh lime juice and (for a little Qatar twist!) some pomegranate molasses (or balsamic vinegar if you want to keep with tradition) and then seasoned with salt and pepper and herbs. I often find salsa recipes too complicated or not fresh enough when it really should be the simplest thing in the world to make! This one is so simple. The important thing is to just taste as you go along and get it to exactly the flavour profile you like. I choose not to cook with chilli so that my children will eat it, so there is actually no chilli in this version but if you want a Mexican salsa, I would add some chopped jalapeno or habanero chillis or for an Indian version, add some dried chilli flakes or a chopped green chilli. So, adjust the herbs to suit the cuisine you’re going for, adjust the citrus to use lime or lemon, adjust the spiciness to your liking. My version is a neutral fresh salsa recipe that you can think of as your platform from which to jump into different cuisines depending on how you’re feeling and what meal you’re serving (and also what you happen to have in the fridge!). Each variation is absolutely delicious and so versatile in the kitchen. The list goes on… but the point is that each culture has its own recipe for mixing finely chopped tomatoes with a little onion or garlic and herbs to make a light and refreshing accompaniment to their meals.
The fact that so many cuisines around the world all have a version of a freshly chopped tomato sauce in their traditional recipes is testament to how good and how transformative it is. This salsa takes only minutes to make and it adds amazing zing and freshness to everything! And let’s not forget the pure joy of gorging on tortilla chips dipped into salsa whilst catching up with a good friend! You can even feel a little bit better about all the unhealthy tortilla chips you’re eating because you’re at least getting lots of vitamins in the salsa! 🙂 Jump to:
