How to make the BEST Salsa ever! (In my family’s humble opinion)

0

In our home, we love salsa.  All 5 of us.  We especially love it homemade with fresh ingredients from our garden, but you could buy them from the grocery store as well.  And while we all love salsa, we don’t all love ALL salsas! Ha!  Particularly, my husband strongly dislikes salsa that contains cilantro.  So, I created this salsa recipe with him in mind.  Previously I would just leave the cilantro out but now I’ve found a substitute that has made everyone happy.  Here’s how I make it.

Salsa Recipe : Coastal Bend Mom CoIngredients:

-About 2.5 pints of cherry and/or grape tomatoes (you could also use larger ones, I just prefer the smaller variety)

-Half of a sweet yellow onion

– 1-2 jalepenos (seeds and veins removed)

-1 bell pepper (any color that I happen to have on hand)

– About 2 Tablespoons of minced garlic 

-1 tea Cumin

-1/2 tea seasoned salt

-a heavy dash of black pepper

-and the secret ingredient: Fresh Basil!!!  About 8 large-medium leaves

Directions:

Prepare yourself, these directions are very complicated…

In a food processor (or you could use a blender) combine all the above ingredients until you get desired consistency.  Then let it sit for half an hour or so in the fridge, and viola!  The most delicious salsa ever!  Enjoy 🙂
