JILL'S SALSA

This quick and easy salsa can be made in just a few minutes with a food processor. Green onions instead of white onions give it a nice, mellow flavor to balance the kick of the jalapenos. This recipe also works well with 2-3 habanero peppers instead of the jalapenos. But be sure to remove the seeds and membrane from the habaneros first! Grab a bag of tortilla chips, dip, eat, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before making salsa gives them a smoky, caramelized flavor that adds depth and complexity to the salsa. If you don't have time to roast your tomatoes, you can also use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salsa.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, add a bright, herbaceous flavor to salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount of dried herbs as fresh herbs.
  • Don't over-process your salsa: Salsa is best when it has a chunky texture. If you over-process your salsa, it will become too smooth and lose its texture.
  • Taste your salsa before serving: Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be customized to your liking. If you find that your salsa is too spicy, you can add more tomatoes or cucumber. If you find that your salsa is too bland, you can add more chili peppers or lime juice.

Conclusion:

Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether you're serving it with chips, tacos, or burritos, or using it as a marinade or dipping sauce, salsa is sure to be a hit. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a salsa that you love.
