I'm looking for a great salsa recipe....Any suggestions or help?

Question

What is your favorite salsa recipe?

Answer 1

I am honestly addicted to homemade salsa. I love it because it is fresh and preservative free. I make it almost everyday, because it's usually all eaten that same day! This is my recipe:

5 roma tomatoes diced
1 medium yellow onion (you can use a smaller one if you don't want it to be to oniony!) diced
1 bundle of cilantro (leaves only) chopped fine
2 medium jalapenos (give or take depending on your prefernece) diced
1 lime (juice)
1/2 tsp salt

Mix it all together, try it with Baked Tostitos, and this is a really healthy snack!

I just recently got a manual food processor which cuts down my preparation time to about 10 minutes, compared to almost an hour when I chopped everything by hand. I would recommend one! If you are using a food processor, then the pieces will not have to be cut as small - less work!

If you are using a food processor, this is the order I put in the ingredients.
1st-mix the cilantro, onions, jalapenos.
2nd-add the tomatoes - (I do this after the other ingredients because I like it somewhat chunky)
3rd-add salt to taste

Answer 9

Take 3 tomatoes(large ones) cut them open en remove the seeds. Place them in the magimixer with a 1 tsp. grd. garlic, as much jalapenas you can stand and a sprinkle of salt. Turn it on and off until you get the texture you like.

Let it sit at room temperature to let the flavors blend and eat. Garlicky and delicious!!!!

Answer 10

Go with Not Here Recipie except use serrano peppers.
They are about the size of your pointer finger.
They don't taste as "green" as jalapinos, but have the heat.
Start with 2 peppers, then add more to meet your taste buds.
I use 4 or 5, but in Texas, we eat this stuff with breakfast.
