• Crimson Onion: I really like the look of crimson onion and assume it makes our salsa actually fairly. That stated, be happy to make use of candy or white onion as an alternative. I take advantage of the identical trick of minimizing the uncooked chunk of the onion on this salsa as I do when making guacamole. I chop them, then cowl the onion with chilly water for five minutes. After a fast drain and rinse, this course of cuts the uncooked chunk of the onion a bit.

Now, the salsa is so simple as tossing all the things collectively and serving. Simply don’t overlook my 5 minute step of soaking the onions in chilly water (it makes such a distinction and tones down onion breath!).
