Steps:

1. Use all fresh ingredients for the best results. In a medium mixing bowl, add the fresh diced tomatoes and diced onion and minced garlic. We like our salsa with a little juice. This will depend on how juicy your tomatoes are. If you want it drier, remove the excess and set aside in case you decide you want it wetter.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, fine diced jalapeno and Anaheim peppers that have been seeded and the white membrane removed. Add 3 tablespoons of Marsala wine, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or more to taste, juice of one lime and the pulp, Kosher salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
3. Serve with your favorite chips or Latin food. This salsa is great on nachos or with eggs, too. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!

Ingredients

4 full cups of ripe garden tomatoes (2 cups diced small, 2 cups diced large)
1/2 red onion, fine diced, or any sweet onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 or 2 jalapeno pepper, fine diced and seeded, remove white membrane
1 large anaheim pepper, fine diced and seeded, remove white membrane
3 tablespoons marsala wine
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, more if you wish
1 large lime, juiced with pulp
kosher salt and pepper to taste

EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)

My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.

SALSA FRESCA

This quick fresh tomato salsa will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But you can pump up the flavor with a little lime juice if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull. Juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy roma tomatoes.

Steps:

Place minced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. Add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes or longer. Drain and rinse with cold water.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir in onions. (If your tomatoes are full of flavor, you won't need lime juice.) Ideally, let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating so that flavors will blend and ripen.
