Yellow Tomato Salsa Recipe

When it comes to tomatoes, most people choose red over yellow. But did you know that yellow tomatoes have some unique benefits?

Both red and yellow tomatoes contain beta-carotene, which is important for eye health, hormone function, and skin health. They also contain vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that helps protect the body from damage.

Yellow tomatoes are sweeter and less acidic than red tomatoes. This makes them a good choice for people with acid reflux or acid indigestion. 

Plus, they can be used in a variety of recipes, including salads, sandwiches, salsa, and soup!

My favorite way (which is both delicious and fun) is fresh salsa. 

So, today I am sharing my super-simple yellow tomato salsa, which only requires six ingredients and takes about five minutes to make.

Let’s go!

How to Pick the Best Yellow Tomato for Salsa

First, here are my quick tips for choosing the best yellow tomato – specifically for making homemade salsa. 

We want our tomatoes to hold their shape when they are chopped up.

So, when choosing tomatoes, look for ones that are firm and have a bright color. Avoid tomatoes that are soft, bruised, or have blemishes. 

Next up, how should tomatoes be stored?

How to Store Yellow Tomatoes

Like red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes should be stored at room temperature until they are ripe. 

Once ripe, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

This is important to know, especially if you enjoy stocking up on veggies like me.
