Homemade salsa is a delicious addition to a meal. It’s simple enough for even a novice cook to make as well. You can always buy salsa at your grocery store, but if you make your own you can tailor it to your taste preferences.
These tips can help you make great homemade salsa with less trouble:
Make sure that you start with fresh, organic produce. Do not skimp when you make salsa at home. Mediocre ingredients will result in mediocre salsa – and then it would make more sense just to buy it at the store.
Use fresh, ripe organic tomatoes for the just-picked taste that makes homemade salsa such a treat. Add a fresh organic onion as well. Your salsa will taste fresh from the garden.
Include organic peppers for added flavor. You can get pretty spicy if you want, by mixing in some organic habanero peppers.
If you are the one who will be eating the salsa, make it as hot or as bland as you like. If you’ll be sharing the salsa with others, though, you’ll need to take their tastes into account also.
If you are going to be serving the salsa to others who don’t like hot foods, you may want to make two batches. You can always make a hot salsa, and a mild salsa, to better please everyone’s tastes.
Use a recipe. Do not just wing it, or you can waste time and ingredients – and organic vegetables are not cheap! Go online to find a good salsa recipe and follow it.
You can readjust proportion of the ingredients if need be to fix the flavor if it is off. If you’ve made salsa that is too spicy you can add tomato, or if there is too much tomato flavor you can add more spice. It’s easier and cheaper not to have to fix mistakes in the first place though, so a recipe is really a good idea.
