Mmmm… I have an abundance of tomatoes coming in and I thought just the other day that I need to make salsa… or gazpacho!
I know what I’m doing as soon as the semester ends next week and I catch a few moments to breathe (and cook)!
That looks absolutely fantastic!! Salsa Fresca is the perfect compliment to the tacos I’m having tonight!!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Yummmm! Salsa is my go-to condiment for almost everything and I’ve been experimenting with different mixes lately. Yours sounds so yummy!!
Speaking of fresca/o, have you ever made queso fresco? I tried it out a few months ago and it had, like, no flavor. This would obviously not be the case with salsa (YUM), but just curious as to your own south-of-the-border kitchen experiences.
It looks so fresh and tasty!! Can’t wait until my tomatoes are finally ripe so I can make my own salsa too! I’m definitely saving this recipe for when the time comes
LOVE salsa! I will also say that you can use canned tomatoes to pretty good result!
I’ve been wanting to make my own homemade salsa for a few years now and keep putting it off. This recipe is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. *Bookmarking!*
You are killing me with these Mexican recipes this week! Yum- total craving.
NOTHING beats homemade salsa. This looks amazing!
This sounds delicious. Homemade salsa is quite possibly the best thing ever.
I’ll take a big bowl of that, please.
This is so simple and so perfectly in time for the tomatoes that are starting to pop up all around in farmers markets. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
Thank you, once again!
anything with tomatoes sounds perfect right about now. tomatoes are seasonal in NJ now and they just don’t get better!
Mexican food is the way to my heart. love this… definitely making it!
Awww man, that would have been perfect atop the turkey burger I just had for dinner! There’s always next time.
Mmm I LOVE fresh salsa! Also roasted salsa… The chicken in the previous post is sooo delish looking too… I’m excited for this week of Mexican recipes
