RECIPE: Fresh Homemade Salsa

This is my first year with my own garden, and I’m dying to get some mini tomatoes to use in here. You can make it as chunky or as smooth as you want. I pulse mine in the food processor for a smoother texture, but you can definitely chop everything by hand too. You can also adjust the heat by adding more or less jalapeño. Enjoy!

  2. 1 large clove garlic, minced
  3. 1/2 lime, juiced
  4. ¼ onion, chopped
  5. ½ bell pepper, chopped
  6. ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  7. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  8. 1 teaspoon cumin
  9. 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  10. 1/2 jalapeno, most seeds removed, minced
Instructions
  1. In a food processor (or blender), add the bell pepper, onion, lime juice, garlic, salt, chili powder, jalapeno, and cumin, then pulse 3-5 times.
  2. Next, add the tomatoes and cilantro and pulse 4-6 more times, until well combined. Make ahead of time if you can, best served cold.
Notes
  1. Turn this into a tropical salsa by adding some chopped pineapple
  2. For a creamier variation (great on fish and chicken) add 1 avocado, cut into cubes.
  3. No food process or blender available? Chop it all by hand into small pieces and stir to combine.
