Ingredients You’ll Need for Homemade Salsa

To make this recipe for homemade salsa, you’ll need:

• (5-8) fresh tomatoes
• 1-2 onions
• 5 garlic cloves
• 2-3 jalapeños
• 1/2 c cilantro
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp cumin
• 3 tsp sugar
• 1 1/2 – 2 tsp salt
• 4.5 oz can diced green chiles

You’ll also need a good food processor or blender. My favorite is this Ninja Foodie Power Blender.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Rinse an clean the veggies

Start by cleaning the vegetables, a great practice to ensure most of the pesticides don’t make it into your cooking.

2. Chop or blend the ingredients

For a smooth homemade salsa recipe with fresh tomatoes, add all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the consistency you like. For a chunkier version, just chop the veggies then mix by hand or pulse briefly.

3. Adjust Seasoning

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice until you reach your desired flavor. For extra heat, throw in more jalapeño.

5. Let It Sit (Optional)

For the best results, let your salsa sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, giving you the ultimate best homemade salsa recipe experience.

Tips for Making the Best Homemade Salsa

• Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the tomatoes, the better your salsa will taste. Our favorite tomatoes include new girls.
• Adjust the heat: If you like things spicy, keep the jalapeño seeds in or add an extra pepper. For a milder version, remove the seeds or use a different type of pepper.
• Consistency matters: For a thinner salsa, add a little more lime juice or water. If you like it chunky, chop the ingredients finely or pulse less in the blender.
