One of my favorite SALSA recipes I've made yet!
I was so anxious to make this delicious batch because I just picked up some fresh Georgia tomatoes, vidalia onions, and jalapenos at my favorite Amish produce stand, and have recently grown my own fresh cilantro!
It was so easy (& fun!) to make...I highly encourage you all to make your own fresh salsa to always keep in the 'frig!
It's great to serve with any of the following:
- tortilla chips
- sliced cold veggies (cucumber, celery, carrots)
- toasted focaccia or ciabata slices
- use as a marinade on your favorite meat or seafood:)
- throw on a salad instead of using dressing
- toss in some cold pasta salad
One-Butt Recipe:
*ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves
- handful of fresh cilantro
- 2 lbs of tomatoes, quartered
- 1 jalapeno, diced and seeded
- little more than a 1/4 of a vidalia onion
- salt
- 1 lime
*the concoction:
- In a food processor I pulsed together the garlic cloves, cilantro, jalapeno, and onion!
- Slowly add the tomatoes into the food processor and pulse
- pour final mixture in food processor into a bowl-->I topped with some chopped tomatoes to make the salsa have more "chunk"
- fold in the juice of a entire lime and some salt...i probably put about 2 tsp of salt but you can eyeball it to taste!
- storing in a cute glass jar is a great way to "gift-it" to friends in the summer as a house-warming gift or summer cookout party favor! PLUS, I swear those glass jars make it tastes better!
