Fresh Salsa
This fresh salsa recipe is quick and easy. Use it for a snack, appetizer, condiment or ingredient in a multitude of Tex-Mex recipes. Keep ingredients on hand to make any time!
Ingredients
- 6 large roma tomatoes sliced
- 2 tbsp cilantro leaves adjust to taste
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 10 drops Jalapeno Tabasco Sauce adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-2 serrano peppers diced, seeds & ribs removed
Instructions
-
Place all the ingredients EXCEPT four of the tomatoes in a food processor.
-
Pulse it a few times to get things moving. Then run it on high for about 30 sec. - 1 minute, until things get very chopped up and well blended.
-
With the processor running on low speed, add in the rest of the tomato slices. This way, the tomatoes will not be as finely chopped as the rest of the salsa, and you'll have varying sizes of diced tomato in the finished salsa.
-
You can enjoy right away, or let it chill in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
RECIPE TIP:
I store serrano peppers in the freezer until ready to use. Keep washed whole peppers in freezer bag. Frozen peppers are easily prepared and diced.
I do the same thing for storing fresh cilantro. Store small bunches in individual freezer bags. When I’m ready to make salsa, I pull out one bag to use.
SERVING & USING:
This is a versatile salsa that can be eaten right after it's made, chilled, or heated. It can be used in your favorite Tex-Mex recipes as an ingredient or a condiment.
