Fermented Salsa Recipe
You can add or subtract ingredients from this recipe to come with your favorite combination, but don’t leave out the salt. The salt is needed to ferment the salsa. I know it seems like a lot, but it’s necessary and the salsa won’t taste overly salty.
If you’d like a smoother salsa, then put all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until the desired consistency before fermenting.

Ingredients
Units
- 4 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups packed cilantro leaves, chopped
- Juice of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and toss until incorporated. Spoon the salsa into 2 large mason jars (or any other glass jar you prefer). Gently press the mixture so the juices cover the salsa. Loosely screw the lid on top of the jar.
- Place the salsa in a dark, cool spot in the pantry. Let sit for 48 hours. You’ll notice if you stir the salsa there will be bubbles. That’s a good thing! It means the salsa has fermented. Store in the fridge. The salsa keeps for about 4-5 days in the fridge.
