This is the recipe I use, simple but good. You can increase the amount of cilantro if you want.
Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 2 small cloves garlic, minced
• 3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed, chopped
• 2 hot chile peppers, Serrano or Jalapeno, finely chopped
• 2 to 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
• 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
• salt and pepper

Preparation:

Put chopped onion and garlic in a strainer; pour 2 cups boiling water over them then let drain throughly. Discard water. Cool.
Combine onions and garlic with chopped tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to blend flavors.
Makes about 2 cups of salsa.

Here's something different if you want to try a savory fruit salsa. This one needs to be made ahead of time for the flavors to blend.

Blueberry Salsa

• 2 cups fresh blueberries, chopped coarsely
• 1 shallot, chopped fine (or some red onion)
• 1 jalapeño, seeded, deveined and minced (about 1 tablespoon)
• Zest & juice of half a lime (about 1 tablespoon)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• Fresh basil or cilantro, chopped (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips.

Best served cold from the fridge or in a bowl resting in ice in a larger bowl.

Makes 2 cups.

Ingredients: for > 12oz prep

o 1/2 medium sized onion or whole small onion, sliced in rings then cut rings in 1/2 then dice from there
o 1/2 can of stewed tomatoes - mash
o 1 can tomato paste - stir in
o multi-colored peppers smallest size you can get (green 99-1.49, red 1.49-1.99, yellow 1.99, orange 1.99) if any or all on sale - slice into 1/2 rings then straighten them out then dice several at one time leave some seeds - up to 1/2 cup or more
o 1 tblsp sea salt or kosher salt
o 2 tblsp ground fine black pepper
o 2-4 tablespoons of Siracha spicy red chile sauce depending on fire level (vietnamese bottle with the rooster brand)
o cilantro and/or parsley grind up - I like a lot at least 1/4 cup
o fresh nearly over ripened mango (at least 1/2 mango or more) - mash

o starting with stewed tomatos + tomato paste + salt + black pepper, mix mash up
o throw in onions & peppers + cilantro/parsley - mix well
o add mango - mix mash well
o add Siracha - mix well, taste for comfort level

o use any chips except potato chips (I like blue corn tortilla or sweet potato chips), also great with pita, Indian breads, hard french baguettes

substitutions - for stewed tomatos & tomato paste can use Ragu garden variety + fresh ripened tomatos, for Siracha sauce can use fresh jalapenos or habaneros for extra burn, for fresh mangos can use the imported canned sliced mangos

I made this for a catering event & it was a hit! the mango & the siracha combo compliments each other!

hmmm... now I'm hungry!

hmmmmm salsa

10 roma tomatoes diced 1/2 inch
10 vine ripened tomatoes as above
2 purple onions as above
2 sundried tomatoes soaked in your choice of hot sauce to soften up then julienned and fine diced
4 medium red bell peppers diced
2 medium yellow bell peppers diced (for color splash)
2 small radish purreed
2 bunches of green onion fine chopped
1 bunch of cilantro shredded but left in ribbon form for eye appeal
1 250ml of good italian herbed tomato sauce
1 tsp of chilli powder
2 tsp of garlic granules
1/8 tsp of white pepper
light dust of ground ginger over the bowl for accent
1/4 cup of garlic infused olive oil
dash of balsamic vinegar

I like to make strange combinations to tantalize the tastebuds, if a person does not like heat pull the radishes.

Mine's fairly similar to Pinkers...

4 tomatoes (whatever kind is firm, juicy, and fresh)
2 jalapenos (or 1 habanero) chopped tiny
1 bunch cilantro
juice from 2 limes, 1 lemon
1 large onion (I like to do half vidalia or walla walla sweet and half red)
a little salt to taste.

Chop it up, mix it up, yum!
