Expert Tips

Store tomatoes at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Refrigeration make tomatoes mushy and will cause them to lose flavor quickly.

To seed a tomato, cut the tomato crosswise in half and squeeze each half gently over a bowl to remove the seeds.

I also add yellow onion and a serrano. I chop the tomatoes, bell pepper and onion in an onion chopper to get the perfect little squares. To finely chop the jalapeno, serrano, garlic, and clilanto I use a food processor. Sqeeze some lime and add some salt... mmm!!! I can't show up to a bbq without this!

I've been making a similar recipe for years, but I use diced radishes instead of green bell pepper. I also prefer to puree some of my tomatoes. I would recommend that the ingredients not be added at the same time, otherwise the salsa will be brown. Green and red are opposites and create that color.
