Salsa Criolla Ingredients

Method

Salsa Criolla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by finely slicing the red onion. If you prefer a milder taste, soak the onion in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Chop the Tomato and Pepper

    Dice the tomato and green bell pepper into small pieces, ensuring they are similar in size for an even mix.

  3. 3

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the cilantro under cold water, pat it dry with a paper towel, and chop it roughly.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced onion, diced tomato, diced green bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Add Lime Juice and Olive Oil

    Pour in the lime juice and olive oil over the vegetable mix, ensuring everything is well coated.

  6. 6

    Season the Salsa

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and adjust seasoning as needed.

  7. 7

    Chill Before Serving

    Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
