Lupin Free No-Cook Salsa Fresca
Fresh, vibrant, and completely no-cook, this salsa fresca is the kind of recipe that makes everything taste like summer. Ripe tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, and a bright squeeze of lime come together in minutes with nothing more than a knife and a bowl. A short rest at room temperature is all it takes for the tomatoes to release their juices and the flavors to meld into something that tastes far more complex than the effort involved. You control the heat by deciding whether to leave the jalapeño seeds in or take them out, which makes this endlessly adaptable for any crowd. Store-bought salsas and condiments can be surprisingly tricky territory, with lengthy ingredient lists that sometimes include unexpected additives or fillers — this one is just whole, straightforward produce and nothing else. Serve it immediately for the freshest bite, or refrigerate it for up to two days and watch it get even better as it sits.
