Salsa Fresca




salsa fresca, is a raw salsa made from ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapenos, lots of freshly chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of salt. It is a versatile condiment, one I'm pretty sure I've eaten on just about every food imaginable over my lifetime. Nothing is as good as scooping a freshly fried and salted corn chip into pico de gallo, but this salsa isn't just for snacking. I kick up the garlic and use it over grilled fish, sprinkle it over kabobs, tuck it inside tacos made with sizzling fajitas, and it's a fantastic filling for the hollowed out half of an avocado.
