Cookbook talk:Salsa (recipe)

Salsa Variants
I recently moved to Southern California and discovered that Salsa down here refers not just to the classic tomato / cilantro "salsa roja" described in the recipe page here, but to a whole variety of tasty sauces. I suggest that this Salsa page should become a disambiguation page for the various types of salsa.

"A bunch of cilantro"
Hi, I don't know how much a "bunch" is. HOw many tablespoons or leafs would you say?

A "bunch" probably means the bundle that cilantro is often sold as. About a half cup, chopped, would be reasonable. You might like more.

Onion
1 teaspoon fresh chopped onion, seems as extremely little, maybe it should have read 1 fresh chopped onion?

Tomatoes
Canned tomatoes? This seems very odd. Salsa should have a fresher taste, which would be destroyed by using canned tomatoes. --205.188.117.74 01:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

tomatoes, onions...
Instead of canned tomatoes, you can use 4 fresh tomatoes, such as roma or hot house. As you cut them up, be sure to get rid of the seeds and after you cut them, let them sit for ten minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate so your salsa isn't too wet.

Also, use a half onion, very well cut up to make the salsa good.
