Salsa of 3 types of tomatoes for grilled meat

4 servings

30 minutes

Salsa made from three types of tomatoes is a vibrant and aromatic addition to grilled meat, inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine. Its history dates back to ancient times when the Aztecs and Mayans used tomatoes, peppers, and spices to create spicy sauces. In this version, three types of tomatoes—plum, yellow, and sun-dried—create a rich flavor profile. Jalapeño adds heat, lime refreshes, and cumin provides spicy depth. The salsa pairs perfectly with grilled meat, complementing it with rich sweet-and-sour notes. It's important to drain excess liquid before serving to maintain a thick texture. It can be used as a marinade, dip for nachos or a spicy accent in burritos. This sauce is a true symphony of flavors that makes any dish more expressive and unforgettable.
