This looks delicious, just how I like my salsa. I wonder if it is good and spicy with those 2 jalapenos? Yum!

I will keep this recipe, I love Salsa. I like the idea of using an Apple Cider Vinegar, interesting.

I have never understood the use of tomatillos. Now that I live in the SouthWest I see these a lot but growing up in Toronto I never did. How do they change the flavor of the salsa?

This salsa looks SO good – I haven’t tried to make my own, but it’s one of my fav things to eat!

looks great, erica! salsa is something i much prefer to make myself rather than buy at the store–i like it thick and chunky and SPICY. ;)

I love a good fresh home made salsa, you can’t beat it. I just need to learn how to make my own tortillas and then fry some at home because I can just imagine how good that would be. I’ve been too lazy so far;)

Love Salsa (how can I be Mexican and NOT love salsa?

Love tortilla chips (ditto)

Love the blue corn chips you chose to photograph. They’re so much tastier (in my opinion anyway) than the yellow corn ones!

Ive never put oregano or vinegar in my salsa…I’ll have to give those a try! Your salsa looks fantastic…such a bright color

Sounds great! There’s nothing like a good homemade salsa.

A classic that fits wonderful with nachos and if it is spicy better too :)

I’ll definitely try this recipe, I had tried to do homemade salsa once before, but it didn’t turn out well. I know the sugar and vinegar will make this recipe perfect. Thanks for this great recipe!

Hello Erica, I live in Belgium and have tried some of your lovely recipes on my Belgium husband and he loves everything I have made so far. Thank you!!!

Question: I want to make your Red Tomato Salsa but I do not fine tomatillos here or fresh jalapenos (only pickeled). What other alternatives do you have? for the tomatillos, etc.

Reply

Erica February 24, 2011 at 4:04 PM

Elizabeth- Just omit the tomatillos!
