Turkey Free No-Cook Salsa Fresca
Fresh, bright, and completely hands-off, this salsa fresca is the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a jar. Ripe tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, and a generous squeeze of lime come together in minutes with nothing more than a knife and a bowl. You control the heat by leaving the jalapeño seeds in or taking them out, so it works for everyone at the table. A short rest lets the tomatoes release their juices and the flavors meld into something that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. It's naturally free from any meat or poultry products, which means no label-scanning, no substitutions, and no stress — just clean, vibrant ingredients doing all the work. Serve it the same day for maximum freshness, or stash it in the fridge and let it get even better overnight.
