Your Way Salsa

Here is a recipe for homemade salsa that is delicious just as it is, or you can adjust it and add your favorite ingredients to perfect a salsa to your own taste.






Use your blender or food processor to prepare. 

Place in blender or processor:
  • 1  29 oz. can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup canned green olives with pimentos and juice
  • Approximately 5 Pepperoncini  peppers or peppers of your choice (for a hotter flavor, add jalapenos or chipolata peppers)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • Cilantro to taste (several stalks  (this is optional - add to suit your taste)




Mix in blender or food processor to your desired consistency. Use a "pulsing" option if you want a courser texture or blend longer for a smoother texture.

This is ready to eat as soon as you are finished. Keep refrigerated (preferably in a glass container). This will keep for several days. The flavor seems to be better the next day so wait until then to decide if you have it prepared the way you like it. 


Note: Mix with equal parts of sour cream for a delicious dip for chips, vegetables. scrambled eggs, wraps, taco salad, etc.
