Mexican Salsa - Year Round KETO* ❤️

 

This salsa is so good and and with the addition of green pepper, it makes it extra fresh. It’s vibrant and fresh, sweet with an optional kick of heat by leaving in the jalapeno seeds. The salsa recipe utilizes fresh purple onion, cilantro, garlic, green bell pepper and jalapenos. The tomatoes for this recipe are canned stewed tomatoes. You would never know they aren’t fresh. By using stewed tomatoes you can make this year round and it will always come out perfect.

SERVINGS: 8

Ingredients :

• 2 14.5 oz cans stewed tomatoes
• 1/4 large purple onion roughly chopped
• 2 jalapenos with or without seeds, roughly chopped
• 1 small bunch of cilantro leaves, stems removed (or 1/2 of a large bunch)
• 1 large clove of garlic
• 1/2 green bell pepper roughly chopped
• 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions :

• Drain the tomatoes but keep the juice.
• Add roughly chopped onion, green bell pepper, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, sugar, salt and tomato juice to a food processor.
• Pulse the food processor 7 times.
• Add the stewed tomatoes and pulse 15+ times until you get the consistency you want.
• Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator.

Notes :

• The easiest way to prepare this salsa is to place all the roughly chopped vegetables in a food processor. By pulsing the food processor you can quickly chop all the vegetables and control the consistency. The more you process the less chunky it becomes. I recommend adding all the raw vegetables: the green bell pepper, garlic, onion, cilantro and jalapenos along with the juice from the canned tomatoes to the food processor first and pulsing several times to break them down before adding the tomatoes. Because the tomatoes are canned they break apart in just a few pulses.
• This homemade salsa recipe can easily be doubled if you are feeding a crowd. Just be sure to warm tortilla chips in the microwave or oven before serving. The warm chips give restaurant vibes and take everything over the top. If you need a good guacamole to go with this salsa, this recipe is award winning! And it calls for salsa to be added to it. Perfect!
