Santiago's Salsa Fresca - Real Live Salsa

Reprinted with Permission from Vegan Fusion

Sure, we can live without salsa, just the same as we can live without someone to love - but is it really living? This is Real Live Salsa, as opposed to supermarket salsa. Two different universes.

Also known as 'pico de gallo', this salsa is versatile as a topping for bruschetta, fajitas, soft tacos and avocado halves, and as a dip for veggies, jicama, crackers and chips.

Be sure to use organic ingredients, to get the full taste sensation. It takes about 15 minutes to make 2 1/2 cups of salsa, and about the same amount of time for 2 - 4 hungry people to devour.

Ingredients:

  • 4 small Roma tomatoes, chopped (2 C)
  • ½ C Red onion, diced
  • 2 Tbl Cilantro, minced
  • 2 Tbl Lime juice, fresh squeezed
  • 1 tsp Jalapeño, seeded & minced
  • ½ tsp Garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp Sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper, ground to taste
  • ¼ tsp Chili powder
  • ¼ tsp Cumin powder
  • Pinch Cayenne pepper

Salsa Directions

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. What could be simpler? Oh, yeah! Opening the chips and putting them in a bowl next to the salsa.
