Tasty Tuesday: Homemade Salsa Recipe

My sister introduced me to this recipe about 8 years ago and now it's a summer staple in our home. If you've never homemade your salsa before - give it a try! It's fun - the kids love to help with this one!


Homemade Salsa Recipe: (I usually double and triple this recipe when I make it. It goes fast!)

1 Tomato
1 can whole tomato
1/4 onion
1/4 green pepper
3-5 sprigs of cilantro
1 garlic clove (you can substitue garlic powder)
1/4 jalapeno pepper (you can omit this)

Finely chop all of the above (I use a mini-chopper).


Then stir in:
1 tsp. vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lime juice
Dash of salt and pepper.


Refrigerate and serve!

    How did you know that I've been looking for this recipe? I can't wait to try it, because my salsa hasn't turned out well so far.

    This sounds good and easy, especially with the mini-chopper. What size can of tomatoes do you use?

    Sounds great. I love making fresh homemade salsa. My husband REALLY loves when I make homemade salsa. I will try your recipe. My recipe is very similar. I also add 1-2 tomatillos chopped up in my salsa.

I LOVE hearing from my readers and I pray for you all regularly. I try to respond to questions in the comment section as quickly as I can - within 1-3 days.

Due to an overflowing email inbox and the desire to keep my husband, children and home first priority in my life, I am no longer able to answer personal emails at this time. I apologize.
