For a smoother salsa, peel the tomatoes after broiling by letting them cool slightly and then slipping the skins off. Adjust the amount of serrano peppers to your preference for heat. Remember that the heat will intensify slightly as the salsa sits. Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice won't have the same vibrancy. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the vegetables and mix them by hand. This will result in a chunkier salsa. This salsa is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld together even more over time.

Jun 17, 2025So easy to make and tastes so fresh! I used jalapenos instead of serranos because that's what I had on hand, and it was still amazing.

Jun 9, 2025I was a little hesitant to broil the vegetables, but it made all the difference. The salsa had a wonderful smoky taste. I added a little more cumin for extra depth.
