How to Make Homemade Salsa

To make the salsa, all you need to do is place all the ingredients into a food processor. Then, pulse the mixture 15-20 times, no more than 30 seconds total, or until there are no large chunks remaining.

Making this salsa is probably one of the easiest things you will ever do in the kitchen. It’s quick, easy, and will always turn out great each and every time you make it! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve made this salsa recipe and I am still in love with it!

Tips To Making This Salsa Perfectly

1. Do not over-blend the mixture because it can easily turn into a watery pulp. I use the pulse function on my food processor and blend for seconds at a time, stopping frequently, until the ingredients are well combined.
2. If the salsa is too bitter (from the tomatoes) sprinkle a little sugar into the salsa to cut the bitterness. ~1/2 tsp
3. You can make the salsa as spicy as you like, or not spicy at all. Add more habaneros for a spicier flavor or omit them for a mild salsa flavor.
