No chips? Just use saltines!
And ever since my college roommate gave me an easy salsa recipe, that has been my go-to method for 20 years. I make it several times a year whether I buy canned tomatoes or use my garden ones. You can make it with yellow or even green tomatoes!
It reminds me of restaurant style.
Roommate Chari's salsa recipe
2 cans whole tomatoes (mostly drained, though I save the liquid and freeze it for soups)
1 can diced green chiles
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp dried cilantro or 40 to 60 fresh cilantro leaves (about a 1/3 to 1/2 a bunch)
1/2 to 2/3 small onion
Salt and pepper to taste
A splash of lemon juice
* If you want spicy, add a fresh jalapeno or a couple Tbsp of jarred, or if you're really adventurous a little bit of habanero.
Blend in blender or food processor until desired consistency.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I don't buy salsa because most of it has added sugar. Perfect that this recipe has NO SUGAR!!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of that, but you're right, there's a reason I like this over store-bought, no sugar!

I love to make things from scratch. I wish I had more time for it!
DeleteSalsa is one of my favorites. My newest kick is Simply Tostitos Pineapple Peach salsa. But it really doesn't compare to homemade!
ReplyDeleteWow, pineapple peach salsa sounds really good. I've never even seen it!
DeleteI just put up my last batch of garden fresh hot sauce. It is chilling out here and the backyard peppers are done. But I have enough for the winter to keep me warm.
ReplyDeleteCraig, I wish I could give yours a try! I wish we would have had more tomatoes so I could have frozen some :( Maybe next year.
DeleteMmmm... make it heavy on the cilantro and I am in! :) Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe. PINNED!
