Stumbled across this sub during the El Pato situation and I love salsa so thought I'd give it a try. I used 3 roma, 2 jalapeño, 1 Serrano, 3 garlic cloves, half white onion and roasted at 425 for maybe 30 minutes. I Then added that to EP, a bunch of Cilantro and 1.5 limes.
It was amazing tbh and prob won't buy salsa as frequently as I did but I noticed it had this underlying sweetness that I didn't care for. The tomatoes lost a good amount of water and the half onion was falling apart with tongs.
I'm thinking maybe I try to broil the veg instead of letting it bake or add more lime, didn't know if you all had any insights.
Added a picture that has nothing to do with sweetness, was just happy with how it turned out.

Probably the onion as they have the most sugar. More lime and salt may help balance it but id go with 1/4 an onion for only three romas
Sometimes more salt rounds out the flavors-try msg or chicken bullion powder
Too much onion.
Could add a raw tomatillo. Those add a lot of acid flavor. People mistake it for like all the time
