How to Make Fresh Green Tomato Salsa

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced green tomatoes, diced cucumber, and salt. Gently toss to coat.
  2. Let the mixture stand for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Drain the tomatoes and cucumber mixture thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve or colander. Transfer the drained vegetables to a clean bowl.
  4. Add the finely chopped red onion, finely diced green bell pepper, minced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, and lime juice to the bowl.
  5. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Transfer about half of the salsa mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and slightly liquid, about 30 seconds. Avoid over-processing.
  7. Spoon the pureed salsa back into the bowl with the remaining chunky salsa. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold with your favorite accompaniments such as tortilla chips, cold meats, crackers, and cheese.
