Fresh salsa recipe

March 1, 2015 By The Skinny Cook Leave a Comment

Make this fresh salsa recipe with only 4 ingredients so you will have a delicious, simple, spicy and cheap dip ready within 10 minutes.

I got this authentic salsa recipe from my Mexican sister in law… who pretends she doesn’t cook. Which could mean she is really modest, but I guess what she really wanted to stress is the simplicity of her recipe:

  • throw all ingredients in boiling water
  • chitchat for 10 minutes on the phone (or do anything else you prefer to do… you get it: easily prepared whilst the rest of your meal is cooking)
  • mash all ingredients
  • add salt and … voilà, ready!

Best of all: this recipe is pure paleo and beats the expensive salsa pots you would buy in the shop, without any sugar nor any other unwanted ingredients.

Her original recipe included 1 big tomato and 15 birds eye chilies… very, very spicy for my taste! Hence I suggest the following quantities and for some extra freshness and taste: add some freshly cut coriander leaves in the still warm salsa and serve immediately.

Fresh salsa recipe ingredients

  • 2 little tomatoes (together 140 gr, about 5 ounces)
  • 1 long red chili
  • 5 red little birds eye chilies
  • to taste (1/2 teaspoon) salt

Fresh salsa recipeHow to make this simple salsa recipe

  1. The trick is to boil the tomatoes and chilies in water, like if you were boiling an egg. You boil for about 10 minutes, or until you feel with a fork that the tomatoes are soft.
  2. Discard the boiling water
  3. Remove the peal from the tomatoes and cut the flesh of the tomatoes in fine cubes
  4. Cut the chilies fine.
  5. Add salt and mash all with a fork together
  6. Serve immediately or put your homemade salsa in a little jar and store in your fridge.
