Weding, Hans 2024, Salsa Cruda, Extension | University of Nevada, Reno, Recipes

Salsa Cruda made with Roma tomatoes, red onion, green pepper, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro is an excellent choice for an appetizer because it is fresh, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. The Roma tomatoes provide a juicy, slightly sweet base rich in vitamins A and C, which are essential for immune health. Red onions add a sharp, tangy bite that complements the sweetness of the tomatoes, while green peppers contribute a crisp texture and a dose of vitamin C. The jalapeño adds just the right amount of heat to awaken the palate, and the fresh lime juice brings a bright acidity that ties all the flavors together. Finally, the cilantro offers a fresh, herbal note that enhances the overall flavor profile. This vibrant, colorful salsa is not only delicious but also light and refreshing, making it a perfect starter to whet the appetite before a meal.
