Tara’s Tips for Perfect Homemade Serrano Salsa:
- Choose your tomatoes wisely.Β Vine-Ripened tomatoes are typically best for salsa.Β If you can’t find them, the next best option is Campari.Β Regardless of which style tomato you have available, be sure they are bright red and not grainy or pasty inside.Β This will give your salsa fresca a different texture and flavor.
- Use red onions.Β Not white or yellow.Β Not much more to say on that!
- Fresh cilantro works best.Β Dried cilantro will not have enough flavor in this copycat recipe.Β It will also soak up too much water.Β Try using fresh cilantro if it is available to you.
- One or two jalapenos, up to you.Β For the absolute perfection to be achieved with this Chuy’s Salsa Copycat Recipe, you cannot leave the jalapenos out entirely.Β In my opinion, their salsa is a touch spicy.Β Therefore, if you are spice sensitive start out with 1/2 of a jalapeno or use one whole one but take the seeds out.
- Not much chopping needed.Β Toss everything in your blender and give it a whirl! Yum!
