In reply to Trish Foley. Hi Trish, you will have better luck freezing a cooked salsa recipe. Raw tomatoes have a high water content, so freezing and thawing can make them mushy.

Kate,
I made your salsa verde recipe and loved it, so will try this next. Do any of the salsa recipes freeze well? I would love to be able to use some of our garden tomatoes for a salsa that I can freeze away to enjoy later.
Thanks!

I’m 81 yrs young, come from a long line of awesome cooks, been cooking since I was 8- our family has been traveling to Mexico since the 1960s- we love to eat and cook all south-of-the-border food- made your red salsa this morning-blown away- I added cumin cause I’m a cumin freak and I added some red pepper flakes too because we like our salsa hot-I’ll never buy salsa again- thank you SO much for sharing this recipe!

I’ll never buy another jar of salsa again! So much better than store bought and super easy to make. I couldn’t find roasted tinned tomato in Australia so had to use regular but am still delighted with the outcome :)

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this salsa. It really is the “Best Red Salsa” and is so much better than your favorite store bought fresh salsa!!! I usually use Kirkland organic diced tomatoes and a serrano pepper because we like it spicy. Love all your recipes Kate!

In reply to Sara. Hi Sara, this recipe is for a cann of diced, fire-roasted tomatoes, but you could substitute for an equal amount of fresh tomatoes if you want a fresh salsa. I prefer pico de gallo with my fresh tomatoes.

In reply to Barb. Hi Barb, I would chop an equal amount of roma tomatoes. You can half and grill them to get the fire roasted flavor.
