Quick and easy Garden Fresh Salsa simply made with ripe tomatoes, jalapeno pepper for some heat, citrusy cilantro, red onion & fresh lime juice for added zing
I’m not even kidding when I say I make this fresh salsa all of the time!!
It’s easier than you’d imagine and once you taste this fresh salsa made from only 5 ingredients, you won’t ever want to open a jar of store-bought again
To start, I’m using 2 1/2 pounds fresh Roma tomatoes with the core removed, cut into quarters, but you can use whatever tomatoes look the best
Blend up about half of the tomatoes
We like the base of the salsa to be thin, similar to what you find at Mexican restaurants, but with some chunks for contrast
Add a quarter cup of the red onion and a whole jalapeno to the blender and pulse
We also grow jalapenos and this year they are HOT, so I’m only using one
This will be a matter of your personal preference… if you like your salsa with less heat, remove the seeds and ribs
May I suggest wearing a rubber glove??
It never fails that the jalapeno-holding-hand is the one you’ll rub your eye with later
Ouch!
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice, the cilantro and kosher salt and black pepper
Give a quick whirl then top with the remaining tomatoes and pulse just a few times
This is great served with chips and Easy Guacamole or our Tacos!
Enjoy your fiesta!!!
