Roasted Tomato Salsa
Description
This salsa uses Roma tomatoes, red bell pepper, and jalapeños roasted until slightly charred to bring out smoky, roasted notes. The roasting adds depth while softening the vegetables for easy blending. The onions are marinated briefly in lime juice to add acidity and crispness, and fresh cilantro is added to the mix for herby freshness.
After blending the roasted vegetables with the marinated onions and cilantro to a coarse texture, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper round out the flavors. The result is a well-balanced salsa with smoky, tart, and spicy notes.
This salsa can be served fresh or kept refrigerated to meld flavors further. It is suitable for chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a condiment where a roasted vegetable salsa complements the meal.
Store salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 6 days to maintain freshness.
