Questions & Replies

I've made the salsa a few times and just love the results. However, just wondering how I can avoid all the liquid from being generated when the salsa is refrigerated for a couple days. It was suggested by a friend to add the salt only few minutes before serving if preparing for many guests. In theory will this work to prevent all the liquid from extracting from the tomatoes?

I wrote my review below but forgot to rate the recipe. You can make this very healthy salsa every week as a special condiment to add to any main dish. I even tried it last night on a late night quick meal on basmati rice with butter and salsa.
