Best Easy Salsa Recipe (Mexican Style)

Who loves salsa??  You, me and everybody else, right?!  When you aren’t sure what to make for supper, a snack, or a party, make this easy salsa recipe!  It takes just a couple of minutes and is SURE to please!!

Some days I just run out of time, steam, and inspiration.  On those days if I can pull it together enough to whip out a jar of this easy salsa recipe, I can still feel like I’m feeding them something fantastic.  After all, it TASTES amazing, AND it’s a great immune booster with the fresh lemon juice, raw onion, and garlic in it!!

Warning:

Beware, your family may refuse to eat store-bought salsa anymore!!!  All they’ll want is your BEST easy salsa!  

The Steps:

Start by gathering your ingredients. (Photo 1)  You’ll need:

• 1 14 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes
• 1 10 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chillies (Rotel)
• 1 Small onion – or about 1/2 cup roughly chopped onion
• 1/4 C. Cilantro (loosely packed)
• 1 Garlic Clove (yes just one is fine!)
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1 tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
• For extra kick you could add a few slices of canned or fresh jalapeño pepper (my kiddos usually prefer without)

Place everything in the blender as you measure it out and open the cans. (Photo 2)

Now put the lid on the blender (yes, we’ve all left it off a time or two!) and PULSE your blender.  That’s like mini-stop/starts if your blender doesn’t have the pulse option.  This will help things mix up in the blender and also keep your salsa just a bit chunky.  When you are happy with the texture of the salsa (Photo 3), pour it into a serving bowl or jar and enjoy (Photo 4)!

TIP:

At this point I usually use about a quarter cup of water to rinse the extra goodness off the sides of the blender which I then pour into my salsa container and mix a little.  Saves that extra bit, and believe me, you’ll need it!!

And there you have it!!  My favorite Best Easy Salsa Recipe!  Everyone I’ve EVER fed this salsa to just loves it, and I hope you will too!!
