Fermented Salsa – Gluten-free, Veganby BETH @ TASTY YUMMIES

First off, I know for many of you, your very first question will likely be “Why?” Why would you ferment

salsa? Well, I suppose that could be asked about many things. Why ferment? Admittedly, fermentation

and cultured foods is something I am newly interested in and I am still learning a lot about. So, I will just

share some of what I have learned about why fermented foods are so good for us.

There is so much more to having a balanced and happy gut than we realize. It is now estimated that over

500 species of bacteria are present in our intestinal track with reports of 50 – 75% of our immune

system activity residing there. In our modern world filled with antibiotic drugs, chlorinated water,

antibacterial soap and pasteurized foods, we are killing off all of the good bacteria we need to maintain

good health and digestion. If we don’t actively replenish this good bacteria that we need, we won’t get the

proper nutrients out of the foods we are eating.

Why Ferment?

There are so many healthy enzymes that flourish and live cultures that are created when vegetables are

fermented, creating an environment full of probiotics, enzymes and minerals which are important in

maintaining healthy digestion and a healthy body. These live cultures, usually bacteria or yeast, that

fermented foods contain, help balance the microflora are a little city of tiny organisms in our large

intestine that, when working well, help digest fiber, protect us from things we’d rather not absorb like

carcinogens, and keep the bowel healthy.

The probiotic good bacteria and enzymes in fermented foods help to populate our gut and intestines with

Lactobacilli which are really important for healthy digestion. They also help to eliminate toxins from our

body, so eating them will allow your intestines to detox, which is a really good thing! All of this beneficial

bacteria (or probiotics) have also been shown to help slow or reverse some diseases, improve bowel

health, aid digestion, and improve immunity! I am a huge proponent of taking a daily probiotic, which

has changed the way my gut feels on a daily basis.

Besides improving digestion, restoring the proper balance in our guts, and helping us to pull more

nutrients from our diet, fermented foods last longer in storage. This salsa can be stored in the fridge up

to a couple of months. The lactic acid is what keeps it from spoiling. Lacto-fermentation is a popular

option for fermenting and although I didn’t have any whey, I opted to just increase the sea salt, which

works exactly the same and get it fermenting. If you wish to use whey, take the sea salt down to 1

tablespoon and add 2 tablespoons of whey. FYI there are even ways to make your own whey (say that 10

times fast) at home, just search around online for different recipes and how-tos.

Cultured raw vegetables that are created just by leaving them in airtight jars at room temperature for

several days to ferment, this might just be one of the easiest and cheapest things you will ever come

across to help use up those veggies and get some additional health benefits from, while you are at it. A

common vegetable used for this is cabbage, to make homemade sauerkraut, but you can also add other

vegetables like carrots or beets or radishes, etc.

This fermented salsa is simple to make and you can make the recipe your own, based on how you like

your salsa and maybe what you have growing in your own garden. I had some great peppers from our

garden and some fresh herbs from the farmers market, so I went to town making a spicy salsa, just like

what we love. Feel free to tweak the herbs to what you like, add additional dried herbs and spices and

other veggies, as you desire. This same recipe would work great unfermented, just add less salt or skip

the whey. The differences in the taste of the fermented salsa versus the regular stuff are pretty subtle,

you will notice the fermented salsa is a tad bit of tang and fizziness, almost a tad hint of an alcohol-y

flavor, that I really like. I have served it to quite a few people, and it was well received by all, jars of this

have disappeared fast around here. I have to thank Tasty Yummies reader Jaya Lila Ramey for her tips

on fermenting salsa, she made it so much easier for me to just dive into this fermenting process,

unintimidated.

Other examples of fermented foods are miso, kombucha, kefir, yogurt, kimchi, pickles, etc. If you are

looking to experience some of the many benefits of what we’ve discussed, it is important to eat

fermented foods regularly. This fermented salsa is a wonderful way to do just that. It is great with your

favorite chip or cracker, on top of a salad, eggs, steamed veggies, soup, etc. Heck this salsa is so good you

can just eat it with a spoon. A good tip to keep in mind too, fermented veggies are particularly good to

eat with starches and proteins, as it will help you to digest these foods better.

What are your experiences with fermented foods? What benefits have you noticed? If you like fermented foods, what are your favorites?

Print Recipe

Fermented Salsa – Gluten-free + Vegan

2 – 3 lbs of organic tomatoes of your choice, I used heirloom cherry tomatoes from my garden

1 large onion, I have used both red and white, both are delicious choices

various, chile peppers – quantity and types, your choice. We like spicy so I went with 2 serrano

and 1 jalapeño (you can also use bell peppers if you like your salsa mild)

3-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 bunch of fresh cilantro (If you don’t like cilantro add in oregano, chives, etc)

Juice of 2 limes, or 1 lime and 1 lemon, or 2 lemons

1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons sea salt*

Dried spices to taste, if you’d like – I added some cumin, chipotle and chile powder

Add the tomatoes to your food processor and pulse them a few times until they are broken down to

the size you like. I prefer my salsa a tad chunky. Place the tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the roughly

chopped onion, peppers, fresh herbs and dried spices to the food processor. Pulse a few times until

everything is chopped to the size you like. Add these to the large bowl. Obviously if you don’t have a

food processor, you can just chop all of this by hand.

Add the fresh squeezed lemon and/or lime juice and sea salt to the vegetables. (Add the whey now if

you are using it.) Toss everything around until it is well mixed. Pour into quart sized or smaller

clean mason jars. Leave some room at the top, don’t fill it all the way up. Cap tightly. Leave on the

counter for 2 to 3 days. Transfer to the fridge or cold storage.

This salsa will keep up to a few months in the fridge. I have read up to 8 months, actually. The

flavors will actually intensify over time.

* If you are using whey use only 1 tablespoon of sea salt and add 2 tablespoons of whey.

I have not used water kefir itself as a starter, but I have used water kefir grains and they

work very well for sauerkraut – about a tablespoon (1/2 at the bottom of the jar and 1/2 about

halfway up) per quart jar really speeds up the fermentation process.

I used them for coconut milk yogurt as well, but I apparently used too much (about 2

tablespoons for one quart) as I nearly had an explosion about 18 hours later (I had a “yogurt

volcano” when I opened the jar and lost about half a quart) and really didn’t care for the

“kefiry” flavor the grains imparted into the yogurt.

REPLY

Janet September 3, 2013 at 3:43 pm

Love the jars without the metal lid. I do not make my own fermented foods but like you I have

heard they are good for the gut. I am not a fan of the salt that seems to be so prevalent in fermented

foods that I have tried.

Have a beautiful day!

REPLY

tastyyummies September 4, 2013 at 10:24 am

Aren’t those jars great? Fermentation can be done with out the extra salt, using whey or

other starters. Google around, it is totally possible.

Hope you have a lovely day, too!

REPLY

Sherri September 3, 2013 at 8:40 pm

I am loving the looks of this recipe and am going to try it. I do have a question though. The

instructions say to cap tightly and then leave on counter for 2-3 days. Should that not be cap loosely

for the counter time to allow escape of gas and extra fluid? I’m asking because sauerkraut and

fermented veggies require the lid to be loose for the first while and then the lids are tightened when

put into storage.

When I have my jars on the counter for the initial ferment, I put them in a glass baking pan to catch

escaped liquid. Saves a mess to clean up.

My favorite ferments: sauerkraut, fermented veggies, and have hard apple cider on the go.

REPLY

tastyyummies September 4, 2013 at 10:19 am

I have to be honest that I am not sure why to cap tightly versus leaving it open. The reader

I spoke with who makes it and EVERY other fermented salsa recipe I saw online said the exact

same thing, too. I will have to do a little more research as to why that it and get back to you. Wow

hard cider? Now I am intrigued

REPLY

Sherri September 4, 2013 at 5:02 pm

Thanks Beth. The only thing that I can think of is that the tomatoes don’t give off as

much gas (or liquid) as the sauerkraut and other cruciferous veggies. (FYI: if doing sauerkraut,

have loose lid. If not you will have an explosion) Traditionally sauerkraut is done in a crock,

but I like using the jar method as it’s less work.

I have the book “Fermented: A 4 Season Approach to Paleo Probiotic Foods” by Jill Ciciarelli

and her recipe indicates a loose lid for the first few days. By the way, her book is worth a snoop.

I’m using her method for hard cider (both wild and controlled) and there are a few other things

I want to try such as beet kvass and fermented hot sauce.

Trying this recipe tonight!! I’ve begun fermenting foods this summer. You might read up on

using pickl-it jars. From what I’ve read, they aren’t a true and safe anaerobic ferment without

something like a vented jar and can pose health risk if fermented in just a regular jar. Thanks for the

recipe!

REPLY

Megan September 9, 2013 at 4:43 pm

Delicious recipe! (I tried it over the weekend, and I just opened the first jar tonight.) One thing

to add, though: Because the fermenting process releases a lot of extra gases, I think it’s important to

leave more space than you would for putting something like jam in cans, or even unfermented salsa.

My jars’ lids swelled up, the jars leaked a bunch of liquid, and then, when I opened it, about 1/4 cup of

salsa burst out of the top.

Megan September 12, 2013 at 7:20 am

How weird that no one else had that problem! I imagined that the gasses expanding

was fairly ordinary . . . oh, well. I fermented with salt, and because I don’t measure out

ingredients exactly and was straining out the juice from some very, very juice tomatoes, I may

have added too little – or too much, hard to be sure.

For anyone having issues with gas building up a simple solution is to “burp” anything you are

fermenting once or twice a day. Simply unscrew the lid slowly and just enough to release the pressure.

You will hear the gas hissing out. When it’s done, screw it tight again.

REPLY

Erin February 19, 2014 at 4:31 pm

So I made a batch in late August and after a few days of fermentation on the counter, I stuffed

my jars into the back of the fridge. Just opened a jar today – 5 months later and I had gas build up in

the jar, which – when opened – caused the salsa to bubble over the top and spill into the sink. I mixed

the rest and tasted the salsa and it had a noticeable “fermented” tang to it. I wasn’t sure if it was still

okay, but I’ve left sourdough starter in the fridge for weeks at a time, and lactofermented pickles for

months and months. It’s watery, but SUPER tangy – and I just can’t go back to purchased salsa. I

gobbled it up with some corn chips and am glad I have a second jar waiting for my next craving!

I’ve been reading a lot about fermenting foods, trying to include more probiotics in my diet. I

haven’t seen a salsa recipe before. Looks very interesting and I can’t wait to try it.

From my reading, I understand that whey and salt have different roles in the process.

Whey (from yogurt, buttermilk, or milk kefir), kefir grains, brine from a previous ferment, or other

cultures help the fermentation process proceed faster but can limit the variety of probiotics in the final

product.

Salt’s job is to kill off the bad bacteria, allowing the good bacteria to go to work. However, too much

salt will affect the good bacteria as well and slow down the fermentation process.

“Burping” the jars every day will prevent the spills, messes, and blow-ups.

Thanks again for the recipe.

The actual fermentation process is only a few days; once it’s bubbly, it has to be refrigerated.

I just made my third batch of fermented salsa and I just panicked as I thought my jars were

going to explode as the lids were being pushed out, liquid was seeping out of the jars and the contents

were separating more than before just after two days. I made a double batch and was very sad to think

something went wrong. Thank goodness for all these comments, I think my salsa actually fermented

this time (and possibly did not last time)! When I opened the jars the contents actually expanded 1-2″

out of the top. The salsa does taste different from last time but still tasty. Looking forward to the

health benefits and happy that all may hard work didn’t go to waste.

REPLY

Karen May 6, 2015 at 7:24 am

Hi Jenifer,

If you’re using an anaerobic vessel with an Airlock, you can use far less salt, and no whey. In The

Probiotic Jar, we need just a little less than half a teaspoon (without whey) in more than a quart of

salsa. (1 Liter is over a quart). That’s cutting the salt down a lot from 1 1/2 to 2 TBS. Although it is

unclear how much this recipe will make, even if it is a 2 quart batch, that is still less than 1/3 the

salt. If it’s a 1 quart recipe, then it’s less than 1/6 the salt.
