Ingredients
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4 ripe plum tomatoes (approximately 12 oz.)
  • 1-2 red chili peppers, or to taste
  • salt

Directions
  1. In a small serving bowl, mix onion, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Sprinkle liberally with salt.
  2. Dice plum tomatoes, discarding seeds and juice. Add to the serving bowl.
  3. Put on a pair of gloves. Finely mince the chili peppers, using 1 with the seeds discarded for a medium-spicy salsa, or 2 with seeds for a very spicy one.
  4. Mix the peppers into the salsa. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  5. Refrigerate until serving.
  6. Note: the salsa will become a little watery. Drain off some liquid before serving, if desired, or serve as-is. Either way is fine.

This was very simple to make and tastes divine! We just moved to a different state and there are no Baja Fresh restaurants around us;my husband and I have been itching for their salsa, I tried this & we're cured!


This sounds like what ive been looking for just 1 question can i use lime juice from a bottle or does it have to be fresh lime juice from a lime?


Sounds really tasty I can add more hot peppers as I like.
Five forks and a smile :)
