Fresh Salsa - Basic Recipe

The BEST fresh salsa. So easy and great for grown ups or kids alike! // One Lovely Life

This is a fresh, mild salsa, and we usually skip anything spicy when making it. You can certainly add in a bit of jalapeño or green chile for some kick, if you like!  I add all of the optional ingredients for more flavor, but that's just me, I tend to like to spice things up!


This is a great way to use those beautiful tomatoes that you get in summer.  You can easily can this recipe too to have all winter long. 

Serves: 1½ - 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups fresh tomatoes, halved or quartered (or in a pinch use canned whole tomatoes or diced)
  • 3-4 Tbsp diced onion (I usually use red)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • juice of 1 lime - (must be FRESH do not buy any lime or lemon juice in a plastic fake fruit container, ever.)
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp minced jalapeño (optional)
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp minced garlic (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until you've reached your desired texture. Add salt, to taste.
Serve on anything!
