This is easy blender salsa mild, smooth and flavorful. It could be served with chips, tacos, over nachos or even as a ketchup replacement.
Blender salsa recipe
Chips and salsa is one of my all time favorite appetizers.
And I used to always buy salsa form the store until recently… I’ve realized that making it at come is very simple and takes less than 5 minutes. Great for the times, when guests come over unexpected and you’d like to serve a quick appetizer.
Not a huge fan of chunky salsa, that’s why this blender version is just perfect for me. Minimal cutting, and let your blender do the work.
I used canned tomatoes and canned green chili peppers, which are widely available in the US.
I prefer using red onions in salsas, because they are sweeter and have mild flavor, just right for my taste.
Total cost? Maybe less than $3. A jar of salsa costs more than that in the store.
I should have tried this very long time ago. So easy to make and you can totally control what goes in it.
And you most likely already have all ingredients in your kitchen.
This salsa is on the mild side, but you can always spice it up by adding some cayenne pepper or jalapeño peppers.
Ever since I discovered this recipe, I’ve been making salsa at least once a week. This time I made it to top this cheesy chicken nachos appetizer, the recipe for which I’m sharing next.
Since I’m a huge snacker, so having some fresh homemade salsa with crispy tortilla chips feels great!
