The Ultimate Salsa Fresca

• For the tomatoes, choose ripe red tomatoes for the best flavor.
• Mexican oregano has a more intense flavor than regular oregano, so be sure to use the correct type.

• Instead of red ripe tomatoes, use canned diced tomatoes. The benefit of this substitution is that it eliminates the need to dice the tomatoes, thus saving time in the preparation process. Additionally, canned tomatoes are usually more consistent in terms of flavor and texture than fresh tomatoes, which can vary greatly depending on the season.
• Instead of serrano chilies, use jalapeño peppers. The benefit of this substitution is that jalapeño peppers are milder than serrano chilies, so they won't make the salsa too spicy. This also makes the salsa more accessible to people who don't like spicy food. Additionally, jalapeños are easier to find in most grocery stores than serrano chilies, so it can be a more convenient option.

Mango Salsa Fresca Replace the tomatoes with one large, ripe mango, diced. Reduce the olive oil to 1 teaspoon, and omit the serrano chilies. Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice and 1 tablespoon of honey.

Mango and Peach Salsa Fresca Replace the tomatoes with one large, ripe mango, diced. Replace the olive oil with 1 teaspoon of orange juice. Omit the serrano chilies. Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 cup of diced, ripe peaches.
