This recipe was gifted to me from a dear friend whose mother lives south of the US Border and speaks no English. I've never found a better salsa recipe. So Fresh! Serve with Chips or as a sauce on omelets, tacos, nachos, enchiladas, etc.. I make this by hand (a lot of chopping), but it can just as easily be made in a food processor. However, I prefer making it by hand. There is something almost zen about the process of chopping and handling each ingredient. It's love in a bowl. Love for the people I make it for and remembering the love of a mother passing on her knowledge to future generations.
Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl (ceramic or glass - no metal)
Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Refrigerate any leftovers (if any)
*Use 1-3 drops of Certified PureTheraputic Grade Lime Essential Oil instead of zest (I prefer doTERRA) Just make sure it is an oil that you can consume internally.
Times are estimates and can be shortened if made in a food processor or blender. Making by hand creates a chunky salsa which I prefer.
Rest for 30 minutes after combined for flavors to meld.
There is really no way to mess this up. Use the measurements as a guide and adjust to your liking. I rarely measure anything. Use about a palm full of cilantro (if you are someone who thinks cilantro tastes like soap, you may substitute with parsley). Play around with it until you find the ratios that you prefer. Jarred salsa does not compare.
