Does anyone have a great salsa recipe?

Question

I would like a salsa recipe that isn't too hot. I'm looking for mild to medium. My boyfriend recently had homemade salsa at a friend's house and wants me to try and recreate. He said it was very mild at first and then had a bit of a kick at the end.

I am so bored with the salsas that I have bought at the store. But, if anyone has a suggestion on a wonderful store bought salsa please feel free to share that as well.

Thanks, in advance.

Answer 1

This is more like pico de gallo, but it is excellent.

*Dice 5-8 tomatoes and place into a mixing bowl. (Use garden fresh, on-the-vine ripened tomatoes... go to a veggie market if you have to. THIS IS CRITICAL!!!)
*Dice 1 red onion and add to the bowl.
*Dice 1 jalepeno and add to the bowl (remove the seeds... this makes it hotter!)
*Chop 1/2 cup of cilantro (or more to taste) and add to the bowl.
*Roll a lime with your hand on the counter (this loosens up the juices!). Cut lime in half and squeeze juice into the bowl.
*Mix all the ingredients with a big spoon and place in the refrigerator.

You can control the heat factor with the number of tomatoes and jalepeno peppers that you use. It is really hard to mess this recipe up!

Answer 2

well, usually i use this salsa for meats that we bbq outside without bbq sauce. but it always works well with chips and eggs with refried beans in the morning. All you do is boil 3 red tomatoes prefferably the little oval shaped ones, and 2 fresh jalapenos with water just enough to cover them about an inch in the pot. when done put tomatoes and chilles in a different bowl transfering a little water with it mash with a (mocajete) a rock that we mexicans use. or a potatoe masher is fine. there will be some thick skins of both tomaotoe and chilles. thats okay just add salt to your taste and serve. You also can add more chilli of you want, because some days you buy them theyre hot and others are not. hope this works for you, its very easy

Answer 3

I recently made this salsa for a BBQ that I attended. Most of the people there thought I was crazy for making salsa with watermelon, but they loved it after they tried it.

Watermelon Salsa

2 cups chopped seedless watermelon
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1 cup chopped fresh mango
Juice from 4 fresh limes
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

Good luck!

This recipe is meant to flavor plenty like Chili's salsa, yet i haven't eaten at Chili's so i can not vouch for it. 14 a million/2 ozcan tomatoes and eco-friendly Chills (like Ro-Tel) 14 a million/2 ozcan finished peeled tomatoes plus the juice a million tablespoon jalapenos (canned, diced, no longer pickled) PLUS"PLUS" ability this ingredient as properly to the single on the subsequent line, frequently with divided makes use of a million teaspoon jalapenos (canned, diced, no longer pickled) a million/4 cup diced onion 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt, to flavor a million/2 teaspoon cumin, or extra to flavor a million/4 teaspoon sugar, to flavor place jalapenos and onions in processor; technique for in basic terms some seconds. upload the two cans of tomatoes, salt, sugar and cumin. technique all aspects until properly mixed, yet do no longer puree. place in coated field and relax. a pair of hours of chilling will help the flavors to improve. Serve along with your popular skinny corn tortilla chips.
