Everything tastes better when it’s homemade, especially when it’s easy to make! Whip up some of this fresh salsa to be the start of the weekend BBQ or to enjoy hanging out around the pool.
You will be amazed in the difference in taste between fresh homemade salsa vs. the jar you purchase at the grocery store. This recipe is amazing and bursting with summer freshness!
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!
