What Are the Best Tomatoes for Salsa
Okay, let’s talk about the cherry tomato. I know they’re cute. They’re little, sweet, and red. But do not—I repeat, do not—use them for salsa unless you want a bowl of tiny, bitter, seed-filled bombs. They are the toddlers of the tomato world: messy, unpredictable, and best left for their own snacks. Leave them for your salads or for snacking while you mutter over your cutting board.
You’ll cut one cherry tomato, and it will explode across your counter like a tiny red firework. Ten minutes later, you’ll have a salsa that tastes more like a fruit salad with a bad attitude. Pass. Hard pass.
