My Favorite, Easy, Delicious Salsa
This salsa is easy to make. Since this recipe uses canned tomatoes, this salsa can be made all year round!
Ingredients
- 1 can 14.5 oz Diced Canned Tomatoes
- 1 can 14.5 oz Diced Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes This adds a light smokey flavor
- 1 can 14.5 oz Diced Tomates with Green Chilies
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 2 Cloves garlic , med size cloves
Instructions
-
Our ingredients will be layered into our blender. If you have a food processor, feel free to use that, regardless of the appliance layering the ingredients is key.
-
In the blender place 2 cloves of garlic in the bottom. Next the cilantro, followed by the cans of tomatoes.
-
Next pulse the blender or food processor. This helps to break up the garlic and cilantro. Once that is done, blend at your preferred speed.
-
Once it is blended well, taste the mixture. It may need a little more cilantro or it might be perfect.
-
Pulse the mixture one last time before serving. It helps to bring the heavier bits up from the bottom allowing for a more even flavor when serving.
Recipe Notes
This salsa is easy and delicious! Due to the tomatoes being canned, it makes it easy to serve all year round. Do to special requests, I make it all year round!
I recommend using medium garlic cloves. I have used larger cloves once before. It was a little too much garlic for even my garlic loving friends. Bigger is not always better when it comes to garlic!
Also, a thing about cilantro. I have found that organic cilantro comes in smaller bundles. That smaller bundle, in my opinion, is just perfect for this recipe. When using larger cilantro bundles, consider feeding the cilantro into the blender 1/2 at a time. Add half, blend, taste. You can always add more cilantro it is impossible to add less. I've tried. It wasn't pretty!
One thing I love about this recipe, is that it can be made organically very easily and economically.
Final note, scoop tortilla chips are the perfect pairing for this salsa. The scoops hold the salsa instead of allowing it to run. More delicious salsa in your mouth and less on the plate!
