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! :D
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 :)
