Tips for homemade salsa ingredients

Canned tomatoes: When you mix the whole tomatoes, they will remain a little thick, but you can use diced tomatoes, especially if you don’t have a food processor. For best results, choose the best quality. Fresh Ingredients: Are you a fan of coriander? Remove it instead or make parsley a sub-parsley. Onion adds crunch and mild sweetness. You can also saute for a smoky flavor. Use red or white onions for the best flavor. Seasoning: Cumin is an essential part of salsa recipes, and garlic flour can be used instead of fresh garlic. Get even hotter and add a single or two adobo seasonings. Variations: Add corn kernels, black beans, peppers, tomatillo or green chili to make a signature salsa.

Is it hot?

Like calm? Omit the jalapeño or add tomatoes. Cucumber, avocado, or sour cream also works. Feel the heat with an extra chopped jalapeño (or juice if it’s from a jar or can), Tabasco, or a pinch of chili powder, cayenne, or red chili flakes.

How to make homemade salsa

Add all ingredients to your food processor (the complete recipe below). Pulse to consistency of purpose. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

This salsa tastes great when it’s cold and has time to blend in, so you can move on! Removing the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño eliminates some of the heat, but you can leave it in place if it’s extra spicy. For thinner salsas, process until the desired smoothness is achieved. For thick salsa, remove ½ cup of juice from the tomatoes.

Please keep it fresh!

Place your homemade salsa in a covered container or mason jar.

Fresh salsa can be frozen in a zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thawing makes it watery or mushy, but you can revive the flavor by draining it and adding tomato paste and diced tomatoes, fresh onions and seasonings.
