Homemade Salsa Recipe
This recipe is organic, vegan, and gluten-free.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe organic tomatoes.
- 1 small organic red onion finely chopped.
- 1/4 cup organic fresh cilantro chopped.
- 2 organic garlic cloves finely chopped.
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice or both.
- 2 tablespoons organic Jalapeno peppers chopped (to taste).
- 1/4 cup bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon organic ground cumin.
- 1 teaspoon Celtic or pink salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Lightly puree all the ingredients in the blender for a smooth salsa, or 1/2 – 3/4 for a chunkier version with some unblended.
- You can mix fresh tomatoes with organic canned crushed tomatoes in this recipe (though fresh are preferred).
- Some people like to simmer salsa for 15 minutes and cool. It can deepen the flavor and produces more lycopene, but reduces vitamin C and other nutrients. Heat also harms constituents in garlic.
- Remove to bowl and add water as needed for preferred consistency.
- Adjust to taste. For extra hot ramp peppers, cayenne.
- Garnish salsa with cilantro sprigs, lemon/lime wedges, or pool into the center of homemade guacamole for a festive dip.
- Store with plenty of lemon/lime in the fridge and eat within a week.
Notes
Serve salsa with guacamole for enhanced nutrients.
