Super easy homemade salsa from fresh tomatoes – a delicious Mexican inspired dip that goes perfectly with nachos and quesadillas.
Roast Tomato Salsa Recipe
Those cheese and jalapeño nachos deserve to be dipped into this pot of rich red, spicy, zingy salsa. Your quesadilla wants you to drizzle it over it’s filling.
Mexican salsa is so easy to make and tastes so much better than the shop bought jars. Real salsa is fantastic – really get’s your mouth watering!
The salsa will keep quite happily in the fridge for a couple of days – although it probably won’t get chance to!

Make homemade roast tomato salsa your way
You can take this salsa in different flavour directions – switch the lime for lemon and add fresh basil instead of coriander for an Italian style salsa that would be oh so good on bruschetta.
