Mexican Salsa Recipe with step-by-step photo and video recipe.

Salsa is a Mexican dip or sauce which is prepared in many ways using different ingredients. This is a fresh instant tomato salsa recipe.

Salsa also known as Pico de gallo, salsa fresca, salsa cruda, salsa verde is a famous sauce or dip from Mexican cuisine.

All the fresh ingredients make this tomato salsa so refreshing. It is spicy, tangy and chunky.

I am sharing this recipe of Mexican salsa without using food processor.

The freshly finely chopped onions, the chunks of tomatoes, freshly squeezed tomato juice and pulp along with jalapenos, red chilli powder, cumin powder, fresh coriander, lime juice and garlic make it so yum.

Salsa sauce is usually paired with Nachos. But we like to serve it as a dip with crisps, chips, khakhra, wraps, quesadillas and many other things.

It goes well with anything even with your desi dal chawal. Trust me, do try and let me know how you liked it.

1. Use fresh ingredients, as much as possible. Though I have used preserved jalapenos, but prefer using fresh you find it.
2. Choose most pulpy and juicy fresh red tomatoes to get maximum juice out of them.
3. Squeeze out the fresh tomato juice using hands as much as possible and then scrape all the pulp. Discard the peel.
