Really, taste occurs more in the nose than on the tongue. In general, Kari, I’m a big fan of adding something salty, something sweet and something tart to just about every recipe. Note: Photos taken with baked low carb tortilla chips. For me, the big thing is fresh lime juice, a speckle of sweetener and enough salt to kick the lime juice’s tarty nature … right in the tail. There’s just enough there, so that you know they’re there, but without loading this with extra unnecessary carbs. I also DO somewhat cut back on the onions, because … onions are pretty carby. Fresh, sweet vibrant onions and garlic really help make this a tasty little salsa. Also, use a sharp knife when cutting your onions and garlic, so that they don’t bleed and oxidize, giving that weird “old onion” taste.
I just make these things up, as I go along. No big tricks, no low carb magic, just good solid ingredients. I don’t want to undermine the awesomeness of it, because it is truly great, but it’s ultimately … salsa. Servings: 6 Prep: 10 min Cook: 0 min Total: 10 min
