Salsa time is... all the time!
I haven't bought store bought salsa in years. When you have a food processor, why would you?
Here's my secret to awesome salsa every time:
In a food processor add...
A chunk of red onion (about 1/3 of a medium one)
1/3 of a bunch of cilantro
Process until chopped. Add..
4-5 good quality tomatoes (stay away from beef steak and roma. I always use "on the vine")
Chop them into quarters.
1/2 of a lemon, squeezed and zested
1/2 of a lime, squeezed
salt to taste
any peppers (I like banana but if you like spicy, go with the other kind)
I also add in a little bit of a salsa mix. You generally find these next to the guacamole mix packets somewhere near the tomatoes in the fresh food section.
Process until the desired consistency and add more salt to taste. Salt will really make or break your salsa. You need to add enough to balance out the acid from the lemon and lime.
P.S. We had burritos for dinner last night. If anyone wants that recipe, let me know.
