Healthy and easy like Sunday morning, you can also make it with red or green tomatoes, tomatillo, and If you aren’t a fan of cilantro just leave it out and replace it with basil. 

The perfect topping for my Mexican Shrimp Tacos, pupusas, to spoon over a gorgeous piece of salmon, grilled chicken, peppercorn steak, or simply served as an appetizer/dip with your favorite chips or nachos.

Because I picked the first tomatoes from the garden this week, and because all i want to do in this heat is sit on the beach with a platter of tacos and salsa in my face.

I am a real believer in the fact that using quality ingredients especially in the simplest dishes, will take them to a whole new level of awesomeness! And when making salsa nothing beats using fragrant heirloom tomatoes! The absolute best!

Note Worthy:

  • Do Not throw away the seeds, the middle of the tomato! There’s a lot of juice and flavor hiding in there.
  • Simply dice the tomatoes and add them to a bowl, then mix them up with the rest of the ingredients. 
  • Season to taste with the sea salt and lots of lime, until your tastes buds jump with joy !  
  • Turn is into a meal like this Tomato Avocado Salad!
