I made my own salsa!!

That's wonderful! I have been wanting to make my own salsa and still haven't. Maybe I'll make that this weekend. I would think a tomato like beefstock would be good since they are more hearty and bigger. What else did you use in your recipe? Maybe you would like some mango in it too. I buy a mango salsa from the grocery store and it is wonderful.

I have no idea really, but perhaps beef tomatoes or plum tomatoes, canned may be better. Please post the recipe I am so interested!! And do let me know haow it turns out. Perhaps some photos if you are feeling adventurous!?

There are many kinds of salsa. I've made only two of them, one a tomato based and the other mango. For the tomato based, I use whatever kind of tomato I have around, red onion, mild green chiles, cilantro and lime juice, salt and pepper. I like the fresh tomato kind, but you could oven roast the tomatoes just as well, and they would be meaty and juicier, especially if you used roma tomatoes.

A roma tomato works the best, they are meatier and make a thicker sauce than other tomatoes. They are bell shaped, and the brand makes a difference in size. The amish roma is quite large, while other roma's are medium sized.
