If you surf around on the web, chances are you’ll come across about a million different version of Mexican fresh tomato salsa. And there’s a good chance that most of the recipes you find will have more than 8-10 ingredients and lots of steps involved. And while those salsa recipes might taste great, I find the recipe below to be the perfect simple, authentic, fresh tomato salsa recipe.

And did I mention it’s easy?

Actually, it’s to die for. And you can thank the famous and talented Rick Bayless for this recipe. One of the best Mexican-food chefs in the world, this fabulous recipe for salsa comes from him. And because he really loves Mexican food, the recipe as written makes quite a hot salsa. I like it just as written, but if you don’t love spice adjust the amount of jalepeño accordingly.

Ingredients:
2 lg. ripe tomatoes, chopped
4 jalapeños, seeded, white membranes removed, and minced
2 small white onions, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
18 cilantro sprigs, minced
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions: 1. In a small bowl, combine the tomato, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Stir well to mix.

2. Stir in the salt and lime.

3. Let sit at room temperature about half an hour before serving, or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

4. Best when eaten very fresh!
