Ingredients for Adela S Salsa

  • Serrano Peppers
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Onion
  • Avocados
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

How to Make Adela S Salsa

  1. Finely dice 4 ripe tomatoes, 1/2 medium white onion, 2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  2. Combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro in a medium bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  5. Let the salsa sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
