EASY BLENDER SALSA

My family begs me to make this during football season, with or without company coming over. It's so easy to make, that I don't mind. Use caution with the jalapeno pepper, however. I recommend using kitchen or disposable gloves. These amounts are the flavor my family likes, but you can use less or more jalapeno pepper depending on your tastes.

Tips:

  • Select the ripest tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before blending them intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices, such as cilantro, garlic, cumin, and chili powder, add brightness and depth of flavor to your salsa. Use them generously.
  • Taste as you go: The best way to get the perfect flavor for your salsa is to taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, lime juice, or chili powder until the salsa reaches your desired taste.
