Let’s talk about the ingredients in our salsa!

Our salsa starts with fresh tomatoes. I love to use vine ripened tomatoes in salsa since they’re so juicy! But you can use plum tomatoes if you’d prefer. We then add a good amount of chopped cilantro. If you don’t care for cilantro, you could use some fresh parsley instead. I love the taste and color combination of green and red peppers; but you can use any color you’d like. The addition of onions gives our salsa great flavor, and since we’re carefully measuring the amount added, our carb count remains low. For a little heat, we add a jalapeno pepper. A little fresh garlic and lime juice give our salsa a punch of flavor and zest. Since our ingredients have such amazing flavor, the only seasonings we add are salt and pepper. You can always taste your salsa and add more salt if you’d like.

Is this low carb fresh tomato salsa spicy?

I consider this to be a fairly mild salsa. If you’d like it even milder, you can omit the jalapeno pepper or substitute with a milder pepper, such as an Anaheim or poblano pepper. There are also numerous things you can do to make this salsa spicier! First, it’s important to know that most of the heat from peppers comes from the seeds and membranes. So, if you add some seeds or keep some of the membranes on the peppers, you’ll get a lot more heat in your salsa. You can also up the heat by adding hotter peppers. Another way to increase the spice level in this salsa would be to add chili powder, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes. You could even add some of your favorite hot sauce to increase the heat even more!

How can I serve this low carb fresh tomato salsa?

You have a variety of keto options for serving this salsa. It can be served as a dip using cheese whisps, pork rinds, or keto crackers or chips as dippers. You can also use raw vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, or sliced peppers or radishes as dippers for this salsa. Cheese slices make an awesome dipper as well! Another fantastic way to serve this salsa is as a topping for burgers, keto sandwiches, or keto wraps. You can also top meats, vegetables, and casseroles with this salsa. It pairs especially well with egg dishes. So, add a little to your scrambled or fried eggs, or serve with a keto quiche, omelet, or egg casserole to make it even more delicious!
