    Simple Restaurant-Style Salsa - You're going to love this salsa, is so tasty, spicy and you just have to blend all the ingredients in a food processor.

    Here I am with another Mexican-style recipe! ? I didn't use to like spicy food when I was a child, but thanks to Alberto I love it now and actually Mexican cuisine is one of my favorite ones.

    It was the fist time I made salsa using a food processor, I always chop the veggies using a knife, but this recipe is easier and the chunky texture is amazing. If you haven't got a food processor, feel free to use a knife or even a blender, although your salsa will have a different texture than mine, it will be smooth but delicious as well.

    Making sauces at home is extremely easy and you can use natural and healthy ingredients. Store-bought sauces usually have additives or preservatives and some nutrients are lost. This salsa is oil-free and is perfect for sandwiches, burritos, tacos or as a snack with tortilla chips or some crudités (I love carrot sticks!). ?

    Tips:

    • I used red chili peppers because I have them handy, although you can use cayenne powder, jalapeños, serrano chili peppers or whatever.
    • Feel free to use fresh tomatoes if they're in season.
    • Add your favorite veggies, spices, herbs, don't be afraid of making your own recipes!

      I made this the other day with fresh tomatoes, at first it was too liquidy. I put it in a pan, heated it up to try and reduce the water content, then thickened up with some rice flour. Once cooled again it was perfect! Great recipe

        Hi Stef! You can also add some nutritional yeast to thicken the salsa 😉

      Oooh, I've never tried making an uncooked salsa with canned tomatoes, that would be fast! I might have to give this a whirl. Bet it would be good with some dried (and rehydrated), smoked chilies too!
