This is hands down, the best salsa recipe and adds a fresh pop of flavour to any dish! We love to pair it with our Keto fish tacos, campfire skillet nachos and crockpot salsa chicken.

This recipe is perfect for all of those Mexican, taco night dishes that you know and love. It’s easy to make and simple to prepare in minutes!

Ingredients:

1/2 large white onion
3 roma tomatoes
1 1/2 bell peppers
1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
2 green onions
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
1/2 lime
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Dice all of the vegetables finely. Tip: a food processor can be used to make the cutting faster and easier.
Add to a medium mixing bowl.
Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 of a lime, add salt and stir.
Refrigerate for at least an hour so that the flavours combine.

This recipe makes about two cups of salsa depending on the size of your vegetables. We like to use Roma tomatoes because they have the most flesh of all the varieties and don’t make this dish too juicy.

Cilantro and lime can be added to your liking but we always think the more cilantro, the better. Fresh cilantro and lime juice is a must have in order to get the crisp, fresh flavour that makes this the best salsa recipe!

This recipe makes a fresh and delicious classic salsa however you can add all sorts of things to this dish to change it up.

Optional ingredients:

mangos (like in this Mango Salsa Recipe)
strawberries
watermelon
lemon juice
carrots
celery
tomato paste
beef steak tomatoes
red onion
apple cider vinegar
pepper
chili flakes

I love using these mixing bowls for all of my recipes.
These silicone spatulas are perfect for mixing and stirring salsa ingredients.
This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.

Doesn’t this salsa recipe look delicious?! It tastes even better I promise, especially when paired with out favorite Taco Tuesday meals.
