This no-cook salsa is delicious with quesadillas and many other Latin dishes. It's also easy for kids to make themselves.
Ingredients
- 3 medium-size Roma tomatoes
- 1/2 medium-size red onion
- 1/4 cup cilantro or parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Using a small knife, halve each tomato. Cut away the stem area, then cut the two halves in half. Over the sink or a small bowl, squeeze the tomato pieces as you would a sponge to force out the seeds and water. Use a knife or hand-powered food chopper to dice the tomatoes. Transfer the fruit to a medium-size bowl.
- Dice the red onion and add it to the bowl. Finely chop the cilantro or parsley and add it to the bowl as well. Note: If you're using a food chopper, the onion and herbs can be chopped together.
- Stir in the orange juice, sugar, and salt and combine them well. Cover and refrigerate the salsa for 1 hour to allow the flavors to mingle. Makes 2-1/2 cups.
