Make Amazing Homemade Salsa

Make Amazing Homemade Salsa


Ever wanted to make fresh salsa just like they serve in the best Mexican restaurants? Well, now you can. Follow these easy steps to the best tasting salsa you have ever had. And it's a healthy weight and diet choice too.


Instructions


1. Take 3 of your tomatoes. Chop two into rather small pieces. Now take the third tomato and chop into a bit larger sized chunks.


2. Take that fourth tomato and simply squeeze it for it's juice. Squeeze it right over top of those tomato pieces you cut in step one. Get every thing you can out of yoru squeeze. I find it easy to cut my tomato in half and squeeze one side at a time.


3. Add in your 4 oz. can of chillies. If they are not already chopped, do so at this time.








4. Take your white onion and chop it into mostly fine pieces leaving a few larger pieces as well. The larger pieces of onion and tomato add a little variety and chunk to your salsa...keeps it from being overly liquid.


5. Take your two jalapeno peppers and chop them into your growing bowl of salsa. I leave out as much of the seeds as possible. It's the seed that carries the heat, so add them if you want to turn up the temperature on your salsa.


6. Now season your salsa to taste. I recommend you start light on the garlic powder. You can always add more at anytime. I usually start with a 1/4 teaspoon. Then add salt and pepper to your liking.


7. Finally, squeeze half a lemon for it's juice and add right into your salsa. This gives it that finishing touch.


8. You are ready to enjoy your freshly made salsa. Get out those tortilla chips and have at it. Enjoy!
