How to Make Delicious Salsa

While staying at The Four Seasons in Mexico,
I fell in LOVE with the delicious salsa they serve their
guests at every meal. Dipping simple corn tortilla chips
into this mexican salsa was the highlight of my meal.
It is low calorie, simple to make and a true party hit.
I make a batch every week!
Catch my other recipe for Salsa Tomatillo that I also got from
the chef there.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• red ripe tomatoes (4 to 5)
• 1/2 large brown opion diced
• fresh cilantro
• 2 limes
• Salt and pepper

1. 
   Heirloom, roma, or any red ripe tomato can be used.

   Dice tomatoes into small pieces. An easy way to do this is to
   cut your tomato in half and then turn the tomato face down and make
   3 to 4 more slices in a vertical direction. Then carefully keep all
   the pieces together and slice horizontally. Add to a medium size bowl.

2. 
   Brown onions are best. Sweet brown are harder to find but great too.

   Dice half a large onion. Use the same dicing technique as
   you used for the tomato. Try to keep the pieces smaller than
   the tomato.

3. 
   Fresh Cliantro adds to the flavor

   Wash and dry a handful of fresh cilantro. Keeping bunch
   together in your hand, dice into very small pieces.

4. 
   A juicer is an mazing kitchen tool to have.

   Use the juice from up to 2 limes. Cut the limes in half and
   use a lime juicer to squeeze out the juice. Start with half a lime and taste
   salsa. You can keep adding lime halves according to how much juice you get
   from your limes.

5. 
   I like to add about 4 to 5 shakes of salt which is about 1/4 tsp.

   Shake in salt and pepper. You may want more or less salt according
   to your taste.
   
   Stir all ingredients. Transfer to smaller bowl and refridgerate until
   ready to serve.
