Best Salsa Recipe Ever  

July 30, 2008 | By john | No Comments »

This is the “best salsa recipe” I’ve ever put together, which is why I put it on this web site about a year ago to share with you! Since I usually have a garden, we love to make fresh Salsa in the summertime – which is why I was reminded to feature this recipe again! There’s nothing better than making this fresh with the family and eating it all up together!

You want a quick snack? Grab yourself some good tortilla chips from the store and get ready to make the best (and easiest) Salsa ever. It doesn’t take that long, the taste is greate, it’s easy to customize to your liking, and best of all – you can keep it in the fridge for awhile to eat throughout the week! So – let’s hop to it! Go to the store, get our ingredients, and use this recipe:

2 lb’s Tomatoes (I like Roma, use what you prefer)
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 Lemon
1 Lime
1 clove of fresh garlic
1 med red onion
1 can white sweet corn
1 or more can jalapeno pepper (or other kind, depending on what you like)
1 green bell pepper

OK – now here’s where you’re gonna make this Salsa “to taste” – as the way you like it. Cut, cure, and chop the tomatoes. Cut and dice half (or more) of the onion depending on what you like – same for the bell pepper. Now use the amount of (hot) peppers you feel comfortable with. Maybe you want one jalapeno – maybe four. I would recommend 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic (minced), but this depends on how much you like garlic. As you go (throwing this all in a mixing bowl), drop in about 2 teaspoons of salt, the entire (drained) can of sweet corn, about 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (or more), and the juice from 1/2 a lemon and 1/2 a lime. Then mix it all up in the mixing bowl.

Now if you like a rough salsa, more like a “Pico de Gallo” you are done! If you like a smoother salsa – drop the mixture in your blender or food processor and “pulse” until it’s the consistency you desire. In the end – you should have one of the greatest tasting Salsa’s ever! Got a suggestion for this recipe, or a better Salsa recipe of your own – please comment below now!
