Homemade Salsa

Admittedly, I had never made salsa, EVER, before my husband and I got married. It seemed SO intimidating!! You always see those delicious salsas in the grocery store that make your mouth water, but then you look at the price. It happens to all of us. We then settle with the processed stuff in the jar and it ends up sitting in the fridge until it expires.

I must say, the first time I made this 5 years ago, it was total trial and error, but now I have it pretty close to exactly how we like it EVERY TIME!! Did I mention it literally takes me only 5 minutes from start to finish? Awesome, right?

Go ahead and give this gem a try, I don't think you will regret it!!

Homemade Salsa:
7 roma tomatoes, cut in half and seeded
1-2 jalapeno peppers, with or without seeds, depending on the desired heat
¼ of medium onion
1 tsp. Lemon juice
1 tsp. Dried cilantro, or 1 T. fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt, begin with 1/2 T. but add as much as needed to create desired taste
Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Turn on and let the machine do its job. Add salt rather slowly so the salsa does not become too salty, taste as you go. When the desired taste is reached, transfer salsa to a tupperware. Makes anywhere from 1 ½ to 3 cups salsa. Serve with tortilla chips, or with Mexican food.
