Canned: I personally prefer using canned tomatoes to make this homemade salsa recipe! I recommend choosing a variety with "no-salt added!" Fire roasted tomatoes are also a favorite of mine, because of the flavor! Plus, the convenience of canned tomatoes and their year-round availability make them my preferred choice!  Fresh: If you have a garden full of  super ripe fresh tomatoes then they would taste great in this easy salsa recipe! You'll need about 3 cups of fresh tomatoes to make this homemade salsa recipe. To use fresh, remove the seeds to avoid a watery salsa!
