I just made salsa

[Baja28]

Two large garden tomatoes, 1/4 onion, Basil, Oregano, Cilantro, ground Cayenne pepper. Blender until chunky smooth.

What'd I leave out?

 

[lovinmaryland]

Sounds good other than the basil and oregano

Make yourself some home made tortilla chips and serve w/ a cold beer

Salt

I make my chips extra salty so I dont add it to the salsa... but he did leave out lime or lemon

 

[morningbell]

Sounds good other than the basil and oregano

WTF?

Lime, salt, pepper, jalapeno, and garlic.

 

[Baja28]

Oh I did add salt as it was a little bland.

The basil and oregano are good!!

I think it is a maryland thing because my family makes and cans salsa every year.... and it never taste like the authentic mexican salsa I am used to. Theirs has more of a chili flavor to it. They add the oregano and basil and some other stuff to it.

My salsa is tomatoes, diced red onion, garlic, lemon, jalapeno (& any other peppers I have on hand) tons of cilantro and that is pretty much it!

Red onion just sets the salsa and guacamole off! I can just eat gucamole and chips for dinner it is the bomb diggity!

and some cumin and (if you like it) a proportionate amount of whole kernel corn (NOT blended).

 

[desertrat]

I always put a can of diced chiles in, also some chopped up peppers, what ever is availible. Maybe some chopped up green onions.

 

[Baja28]

Salt, and light on the cilantro (for me the flavor is strong) and chop dont blend

Although it would have been better, I was too lazy to chop.

I will make the next batch with some peppers. Either chili or jalapeno.

And I did the other night, I grilled t bones and shrimp for the guys and ate chopped veggies, dill and yogurt dip then a whole bowl of guac and chips. But I spaced on the red onion which I usually add

and some cumin and (if you like it) a proportionate amount of whole kernel corn (NOT blended).

Corn cumin, eh, not so much that's why I add the cilantro instead.
