Contest Winner! Blender Tomato or Mango Salsa image

No chopping, dicing, or mincing here! My family has been making this easy and fresh salsa for years. Both my father and I have won salsa contests with this recipe as the base and have tweaked it with the optional seasonings listed. You can also control the heat by seeding the peppers or omitting the serrano, but we prefer the heat and flavor of both peppers. I usually add a pinch of sugar which intensifies the flavor of the peppers but my father doesn't. A fantastic basic recipe to play with... so easy, you'll never buy jarred salsa again!

Time 5m

Yield 2-3 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fresh cilantro (handful of leaves)
1/4 large sweet onion
1 jalapeno pepper, fresh, stem removed
1 serrano pepper, fresh, stem removed (optional, will bring the HEAT!)
4 garlic cloves, fresh
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 (28 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, drained
liquid smoke
cumin
chili powder
black pepper
sugar

Steps:

  • Add ingredients, in the order listed, to your blender. (You must add the tomatoes last so that the smaller ingredients are chopped properly.).
  • Pulse to desired consistency.
  • Mango Salsa - Substitute fresh ripe mango for the tomato and red onion for the sweet onion. I serve this with Puerco Pibil, Jerk Chicken and Carribean Black Beans. I don't use the optional seasonings for mango salsa and sometimes add orange juice with the lime juice.

I'm going to experiment with different fruits in this salsa. I think pineapple or peaches would be good.

This salsa is a bit too chunky for my taste. I prefer a smoother salsa.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salsa didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a bit bland.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less jalapeƱo.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salsa was still delicious!
