Fresh Garden Salsa
Fresh salsa - it's easy to make, and is so light, zingy, & absolutely delicious! It's sure to become a staple in your summer menu plan!
Ingredients
- 3-4 large ripe tomatoes (about 3 cups worth) finely chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lime zest & juice
- 1-2 jalapeños, finely minced (add the seeds for extra heat!)
- 1/2 small red onion finely chopped
- 1-2 bunches fresh, green coriander seed (see above pictures) This isn't something you can find in your local grocery store, it's just an ingredient you'll have if you grew cilantro in your garden and let it go to seed. It's a lovely addition, but totally ok if you don't have it.
- 1 tsp cumin seed, ground in mortar & pestle, or 1 tsp ground cumin. Toasting it first adds lovely flavor!
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 bunch cilantro, minced
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- fresh ground pepper
- 1-2 pinches sugar
Instructions
- Do all of your chopping, mincing, & zesting, then combine the ingredients in a medium bowl.
- If you can resist the urge to eat it immediately, this salsa is even more delicious if given time to rest so the flavors increase and meld. Cover and put in the fridge for 30 minutes or longer.
- Serve with taco chips!
