Making Salsa without Tomatoes: Some Tips and Tricks
Salsa is a term that refers to a range of sauces that are used as condiments for tacos, as well as other Mexican and Mexican-American cuisines. Tomatoes tend to be the base for most salsas, but that doesn’t mean they have to be.
If you are someone who doesn’t like tomatoes, the good news is you can still enjoy salsa, minus the tomatoes. Here’s how:
- Substitute Tomatoes With Other Produce: Peaches and mangos are great substitutes for tomatoes because they’re refreshing, a little acidic, and have a hint of sweetness.
- Add crunch and heat. Jalapeño is the perfect pepper to add crunch and a bit of heat to your salsa. But, if you are not a fan of spicy food, bell peppers will do.
- Add the aromatics. Onions can heighten the flavor of your salsa and the cilantro can add that extra fresh, cooling element to your jalapeno peach salsa
- Squeeze some lime or lemon.
- Season with salt. Finish your fresh jalapeno peach salsa with salt and adjust the flavor to your personal taste.
Even without tomatoes, your fresh jalapeno peach salsa will still taste good and refreshing!
What To Serve With Peach Salsa
Because it is so delicious, Fresh Jalapeno Peach Salsa can be consumed on its own.
But it can be paired with most food because of how versatile this salsa is.
To answer the question of what meals you can pair it with, here are some of my personal favorites:
- Veggie Burger. Fresh jalapeno peach salsa is great on top of a veggie burger. It not only tastes good but it’s healthy too.
- Grilled Fish Fillet or Chicken. Top your meat with fresh jalapeno peach salsa. It can take your grilled meat to a whole new level.
- Tortilla Chips. Create healthy nachos using tortilla chips and fresh jalapeno peach salsa.
- Shawarma meat and wrapper. Although shawarma and salsa are from two different cultures, adding them together creates a perfect blend of flavors that your taste bud would not forget.
Fresh Peach Salsa FAQs
Food processors and blenders perform some of the same duties; however, they are not interchangeable. A blender is typically employed for the purpose of pureeing or crushing ice. A food processor can slice, grate, shred, dice, and perform a variety of other tasks. The use of a food processor is recommended if the finished product will be eaten with a fork or spoon. A blender is recommended if you are making smoothies or purees for a soup.
Since the jalapeno peach salsa’s ingredients are chopped, the blender will not do the job. Instead, chop the ingredients the old fashion way — with a knife.
Of course, you can! You can use pineapple or mango. They are equally as refreshing as peaches and are bursting with summer flavor.
