We will be making our favorite
Homemade Salsa.
Here are the ingredients:
Homemade Salsa
This tried-and-true recipe is always a hit at our house.
If you like cilantro, you'll love it!
Ingredients:
- 1 large bunch of fresh cilantro
- 1 or 2 bunches of green onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 4 or 5 large tomatoes
- 1/2 - 1 Tbsp. salt
Instructions:
Place first 3 "green" ingredients in a food processor & mince. Add garlic, tomatoes & salt. And mince finely.
Tips:
- Serve fresh. This salsa cannot be stored! Make it right before serving.
- The heat can be controlled by adding the jalapeño a little at a time. I'm particularly wimpy about hot food, so I only use the outside of the pepper - no seeds! If my kids are making it, they use 2 jalapeños WITH the seeds!
- It doesn't really matter if you use yummy garden tomatoes or the practically plastic romas from the grocery store - it turns out the same.
PS - Don't you just love these orange & black tortilla chips?
Salsa is a staple at our house, and I agree fresh is the only way to go! :)

YUMMO! I adore cilantro... and I have EVERYTHING I need to make this salsa RIGHT NOW. Even the jalapenos from my garden! Since I've been eating very, very clean I use salsa instead of salad dressing; so this is going to come in handy today! Thank you; and have a wonderful day! jules
ReplyDeleteTo "reply" to my own comment ... I had to come back and tell you I made this for lunch AND IT TASTES AWESOME. I used a whole pepper, my lips are on FIRE, but it is so worth it! Great post!!! xoxo
