Garlic — This lends the garden salsa recipe a unique spice that lifts its overall flavor and deliciousness. This recipe uses fresh garlic. However, if you do not have fresh garlic, you can use one teaspoon of garlic powder and admire the results that show up! Jalapeno — It has most of the heat in the seeds and ribs. If you are sensitive to spice, I recommend deseeding them before adding them to the recipe. This ensures lesser heat in your Salsa. If you want your recipe spicier, leave the seeds intact to enjoy the heat. Tomatoes — The star ingredient of the recipe, tomatoes give the base structure to the Salsa. I recommend using fresh paste tomatoes for the best results. Paste tomatoes are fleshy, less juicy, and contain fewer seeds than other types of tomatoes. These qualities qualify them as perfect for this recipe. Being denser and less watery, they produce thicker and meatier Salsa that is simply irresistible. Salt — Seasons the recipe and enhances the flavor of other ingredients in the recipe. Cumin — This recipe gets a subtle smoky, warm and earthy flavor from the ground cumin powder that elevates its deliciousness manifold. Cilantro — Besides adding the pretty flecks of green to our Garden Salsa, Cilantro adds complexity to the recipe. Some people find cilantro tasting like soap! If you feel the same, you can leave it out entirely. Lime Juice — Adding a slight sourness to the recipe elevates its flavor and takes it to another level. Lime juice, when added to this recipe, makes this recipe zesty and bright. Some people may prefer adding vinegar, which works perfectly well.
Best tomatoes for tastiest Salsa — Freshly picked, firm, perfectly ripe, deep-red, and juicy, make the most flavorful and tasty Salsa. You can use canned tomatoes or a mix of canned and fresh tomatoes to prepare this wonderful fresh garden salsa recipe. For thicker and chunkier Salsa — Fleshly and deseeded tomatoes result in dense and chunkier Salsa. So, always deseed them before blending. Tangy twist — Lime Juice adds a delightful sourness to the salsa recipe. Just add a little juice, taste it, and then add more if you prefer. You can replace the lime juice with vinegar if you like the lemony flavor better. Over-blending may spoil the recipe — Over-blending may turn the chunky Salsa into a soupy blend. So, when blending, make sure to mix it in small intervals. Watch the salt — This recipe of Garden Salsa is served as a condiment alongside salty chips and tortillas, so we may want to cut back on the salt in this recipe. More salt in this Salsa will make the dish seem saltier and spoil the fun. Coarsely chop onions — Before adding them to the blender, make sure to chop them coarsely. This is done to make all the ingredients in the Salsa pulse evenly and prevent the tomatoes from getting too watery. Fixing the watery Salsa — Even after all the precautions, if you end up with a watery Salsa, just consider straining it. Strain half of the water while saving the rest. Add it back to the prepared Salsa to reach your desired consistency if it feels dry. The water content of tomatoes decides the consistency of the Salsa. Extra juicy tomatoes will always make a watery Salsa.
