Garden-Fresh Salsa from Your Salsa & Sauce Kit
Seeds In A CupShare
This salsa takes 15 minutes and uses four things you grew yourself: tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, and onion — the exact varieties in the Salsa & Sauce Garden Kit.
Ingredients
- 3 medium homegrown tomatoes, diced
- 1–2 homegrown jalapeños, seeded and minced (leave seeds in for heat)
- ¼ cup fresh homegrown cilantro, chopped
- ½ homegrown onion, finely diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp salt
Directions
- Dice the tomatoes and drain excess juice for 5 minutes in a colander.
- Combine tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro in a bowl.
- Stir in lime juice and salt. Rest 10 minutes so the flavors marry.
- Taste — add more jalapeño for heat or lime for brightness.
Harvest tips
Pick tomatoes when fully colored and slightly soft. Cut cilantro stems 2 inches above soil and it regrows for a second harvest. Jalapeños are ready green, or leave them to redden for a sweeter, hotter salsa.
