Fresh Ghost Pepper Salsa - Recipe
Description
The Fresh Ghost Pepper Salsa combines chopped ghost peppers, known for their formidable heat, with tomato and white onion to form a chunky base. Fresh cilantro adds herbal brightness while lime juice contributes citrus acidity that brightens the intense flavors. Salt is adjusted to taste to enhance overall balance.
This salsa is mixed thoroughly and requires refrigeration overnight to allow the flavors to meld and mellow slightly despite the strong heat. It can be used sparingly as a fiery addition to Mexican dishes or as a spicy condiment to accompany grilled meats and tacos for those who enjoy superhot sauces.
Ingredients
- 4 ghost peppers chopped, or more, as desired
- 1 tomato chopped, medium
- 1 onion chopped, small, white
- 3 tablespoons lime juice or use the juice from 1 large lime
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Taste and adjust for salt.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to mingle and develop. Serve!
Notes
- Ghost peppers provide significant heat; use more or less according to heat tolerance.
- Refrigerate for at least overnight to develop flavor and reduce raw sharpness.
