I am such a huge fan of homemade salsa that I find it very hard to eat store bought anymore. I also love heirloom tomatoes. I don't know if it's just the beautiful colors or the taste, or both, but I buy them as often as I can, from cherry tomato size to regular size.
Here is the recipe for my Cherry Heirloom Tomato Salsa.
Ingredients:
- 1 large punnet of cherry heirloom tomatoes (quartered)
- 1/2 cup red onion (chopped)
- 2 serrano chiles (finely chopped)
- 1/2 lime (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 cup cilantro (roughly chopped)
- freshly cracked pepper
- 1 big pinch of truffle salt.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and gently combine. Serve with Tostitos multi-grain scoops.
I make this same recipe, minus the chiles, and serve it as a side dish! My daughter gets a kick out of all the different colors that heirloom tomatoes come in.
I LOVE heirloom salad and cannot wait until the Farmer’s Market has more of them over the coming weeks!
I could eat heirloom tomatoes every day. I'm a bit of a tomato lover :). It's the added truffle salt and chiles that definitely kick it up a notch. Love it. My kids still won't eat it though, they take one look at a tomato ….
I absolutely love tomatoes. I don't know what it is about those heirloom ones though, but I'm a little addicted to them.
