Making salsa at home can be done quickly and easily in just 5 minutes with this simple recipe. Everything you love about fresh salsas from your favorite restaurant is here in this dish.
Handmade Restaurant Style Salsa is loaded with bold flavors like sour tomatoes, hot jalapenos, pungent onions and garlic, and herbal cilantro. It’s not watered down and has a strong flavor and body.
It’s a staple in my fridge and one of my go-to toppings. Chips, eggs, hamburgers, tacos, and the list goes on and on. You won’t be able to stop eating it because of how good it is.
There are many servings in this dish. There will be plenty of leftovers to take home for lunch the next day. If your food processor is too small to accommodate all of the ingredients at once, you can work in batches and then combine everything in a large bowl.
Ingredients:
Add 2 cans of diced tomatoes that have been fire-roasted.
1/2 of a red onion, chopped
Three to four smashed garlic cloves
1 jalapeo, stemmed and seeded
1 mug of chopped cilantro
2-ounces of fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. cumin
Take a small pinch of chili pepper
To taste, a few generous pinches of kosher salt
One-and-a-half to two-and-a-half freshly cracked pepper
Instructions:
First, put all the ingredients into a powerful blender and whir them around for a minute or so, or until they’re completely combined.
Stage 2: Accompany with tortilla chips of your choosing.
Tips
If you want your salsa to be thicker, drain the canned tomatoes’ juices before blending. Blend the liquids with the tomatoes and other ingredients until smooth.
To achieve a salsa with more texture, blend it for less time. I like my salsa with a smooth consistency like you get in restaurants, but if you like chunks of tomato and onion, just mix it for less time. Just give it a few quick zaps until it reaches the desired texture.
•Let this salsa sit in the fridge for a few days to let the flavors meld. If you’re having people over, prepare this salsa a day or two in advance and tuck it away in the fridge so the kids and husband don’t eat it all before your guests arrive. After chilling for 24 hours, this salsa will be the best of the best.
Also, if it’s been sitting in the fridge for a while, season it with additional salt just before serving. Salsa will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
