EASY BLENDER SALSA



Easy Blender Salsa image

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 for Making Salsa in a Blender

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your salsa has the best possible flavor. You can use any type of tomato, such as Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, or heirloom tomatoes.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your salsa the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh ingredients, you can use frozen or canned ingredients in a pinch.
  • Don't over-process your salsa. You want your salsa to have a little bit of texture, so don't puree it until it's completely smooth. A few chunks of tomato or onion are perfectly fine.
  • Season your salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until you reach the desired flavor. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a splash of vinegar for a little bit of acidity.
  • Let your salsa chill before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can serve your salsa immediately, or you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
