One Step Easy Salsa Recipe

Living in Tucson has been wonderful for my cooking–I’ve learned to make delicious recipes, and I’d like to think I do a good job making them a little healthier. This easy homemade salsa recipe is our favorite, and it’s so simple. And delicious. And did I mention simple?

Those are the qualifiers for us, it has to be generally healthy, easy, and delicious! Salsa is great and you can totally customize it to use fresh ingredients or more jalapeno if you like a very spicy finish.

If you are planning to make an easy homemade salsa recipe then this is the one. It is packed with flavor and it could not be easier to whip up.

You can either blend for smooth salsa or chop everything up for a chunkier salsa. Everything gets dumped into one pile or one bowl and boom! Done.

Perfect for parties, topping salads, or with your favorite taco recipes. Salsa makes a great addition to almost any menu or meal plan because it packs a lot of flavor without adding a lot of unnecessary calories or fat.

You know what goes great with salsa…margaritas! And beer! And Beer Margaritas!

Can you freeze this homemade salsa? 

It’s so easy to make a huge batch of this salsa and freeze it! I try to freeze in smaller containers or bags so I can grab one or two out when we need it. 

This salsa is best thawed on the counter or in the fridge–not in the microwave.

It is, it’s an FP recipe on THM and you don’t have to make any substitutions.
