Homemade Salsa with Fresh Tomatoes
It goes without saying that this Mexican tomato salsa is made with tomatoes. It also has onions, Worcestershire sauce, and one of my favorite ingredients; celery seeds. This salsa is perfectly piquant. Grab a few boxes of crackers or bags of tortilla chips and dig on in! It doesn’t matter which you choose because both are the perfect vehicles for our party dips and of course this salsa.

FAQs
Do you need to peel tomatoes for salsa?
No, you do not have to peel the tomatoes before using them in your salsa. While you can if you choose to there really isn’t a point to doing so unless you are making a cooked salsa, which we are not.
What are the best tomatoes for fresh salsa?
We are looking for some big red and juicy vine-ripened tomatoes but you can actually use just about any tomato variety from a Beefsteak tomato to Roma would work well. The “meatier” the tomato is the better the flavor and greater the juiciness will be which means a better flavor infusion with the salsa. Note that cherry tomatoes can also be a great option but due to their size you’ll need a good amount of them and slicing them into quarters or eights can be a tedious task.
How long does homemade salsa last?
Assuming that you don’t simply eat it all in one sitting, your homemade salsa will last about 5-7 days in the fridge if you keep it well covered. This is because the lime juice helps to keep it nice and fresh. The vinegar in the hot sauce also helps with this. I don’t think you’ll have an issue getting the salsa spoiling though because it’s so hard to resist it won’t last for long before it gets eaten!

I love adding horse radish to my Bloody Marys. Do you think that’d be a good addition to this recipe or would that just be weird?

I think it would a great addition! I would start with a small amount because of how strong horseradish can be.
