Homemade Fresh Salsa Recipe
Roma tomatoes are paste tomatoes and have firmer flesh and produce thicker fresh salsas than do large slicing tomatoes.
Slicing tomatoes usually yield a thinner, more watery salsa.
Poor quality or overripe tomatoes will yield a very poor salsa.
This homemade salsa recipe can be made with either fresh or canned tomatoes, but if you’re using fresh, make sure they are sweet, ripe, in-season tomatoes. If not you can certainly use canned diced tomatoes just be sure to drain the juice from the canned tomatoes.
