THE ULTIMATE HOMEMADE SALSA

 


INGREDIENTS:


1 can (28 oz) fire-roasted tomatoes


2 jalapenos*


2-3 cloves of garlic


½ cup packed fresh cilantro


2 tablespoons fresh lime juice


2 tablespoons honey


Kosher salt and pepper


Cumin, to taste*


Chips


INSTRUCTIONS:


Combine all ingredients in a blender, food processor, Vitamix, or Ninja. Pulse until a smooth consistency is achieved.


Taste and adjust the flavors according to your preference.

It's as straightforward as that!


*For a spicier kick, leave some or all of the seeds and stems from the jalapenos. If your jalapenos are milder, enhance the heat with a few pinches of cayenne.


If you appreciate the essence of cumin, incorporate a couple of pinches for a smoky flavor.


To sweeten the salsa, add more honey; omit it if you prefer a less sweet taste. The recipe is adaptable and works well in various preparations.


Feel like experimenting? Roast a tomatillo and add it in for an extra layer of flavor!


Not a fan of onion in your salsa? No problem, but if you enjoy it, feel free to add 2-3 tablespoons of chopped red onion.
