Fresh Mexican Salsa

4 servings

30 minutes

Fresh Mexican salsa is a vibrant and aromatic dish that embodies the sunny mood of Mexican cuisine. Salsa originated as a traditional accompaniment to meat and corn dishes but has evolved into a versatile sauce that enhances the flavor of snacks and hot dishes. Its main secret is the combination of sweet ripe tomatoes, the heat of chili peppers, and the freshness of lime juice. The light spiciness of celery adds a zesty depth to the sauce, while onion contributes richness. After an hour of steeping, the ingredients come together in harmonious unity, making salsa perfect for tortillas, tacos, burritos, or simply fresh bread. This sauce not only enlivens the taste of dishes but also fills them with the atmosphere of a true Mexican celebration.
