The very first thing that we need to do is to remove the tomato skin. You probably have your own tricks to do that, but I will explain the way I remove it as it works great for me.
We need a large pot of water on the stove over medium heat coming up to a boil.
While the water comes to a boil, rinse the tomatoes, remove the stems
and using a sharp knife, cut a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato-not too deep, but it needs to go through the skin- this process will facilitate the tomato skin removal process.
When the water starts bowling, we will introduce the tomatoes in the pot. Once we get done introducing all the tomatoes, you will noticed that due to the change in temperatures, the boiling process will stop momentarily. Wait until the water starts boiling again, and boil the tomatoes for 40 seconds.
As you can see in the picture, the tomatoes skin will start to get loose.
Using a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes into the bowl of ice water.Let them chill in the ice water for about five minutes.
With the help of a small knife or even your fingers, remove the skin-they will simply slide off, and they will be more than ready for you to start making the Salsa.
This salsa recipe is quite easy, you really don't have much to do other than chop, dice the ingredients, and mix them all together
You can either dice/chop all the ingredients manually or with the help of a food processor. I personally like all my ingredients chopped in tiny pieces, and I used a food processor, but in the past I have also made this salsa with bigger chunks-This part of the process is entirely up to you.
After mixing all ingredients, you can keep the salsa in pretty mason jars, and stored in the fridge . That's it, salsa is ready!
