What do you do when tomatoes from your garden start filling up your kitchen counters and the freezer too? Canning would be a good answer, but I haven't had much time to do that. What we do, we make salsa instead! These will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, so they come in handy to serve with just about any meal or to use as a dip for chips.
The ingredients are your usual:
Tomatoes
Onions, sweet vidalia preferred
Fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers
Cilantro
Lemon or lime
Salt
Chop the tomatoes, onions, peppers and cilantro finely or coarsely, depending on your preference. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon or whole lime and season with salt to your taste. Mix well.
With this batch, we took about half of the mixture and blended it then mixed it back in. Depending on our mood sometimes we leave it all chunky, sometimes we blend the whole thing, or do it half and half like this time around.
That is a good dipping sauce for tortilla chips or it is somewhat similar to salsa!
Yum! Fresh salsa is the best :) I have never tried blending it though...something to try for next time...thanks!
Wow! I think I'll make have chips and salsa tonight. :-) That looks delish!
yum yum yum.
I'm gonna try this.
Hi Chas, yes that is exactly what we like to do with this salsa, dip tortilla chips in it!
Hi Joey! the blending part we discovered when we were gifted with one of those blending wands and got blender crazy!
Hi ladybug! try making your own chips by frying up some corn tortillas, and you'll be in heaven :)
Hi alternati, I hope you do. It's really easy :)
I am envious since tortilla chips or other chips is a no no to the dieting moi!
Try baked tortilla chips, Chas. No fat! :) Unless of course you're on a carb free diet?
I love tortilla chips with this salsa but don't know how to make one. Thanks for sharing.
Hi lani, it's really easy. I hope you try it.
