Easy Homemade Salsa … in a Blender!
I’m a chips and salsa fiend. I almost don’t even need the chips and can just shovel in the salsa by the fork-full. When I want salsa now, I turn to this restaurant-style salsa recipe made in a blender. The best part of this salsa is how fast, easy, and goofproof it is. Add all the ingredients to your blender or food processor, blend, and you’re done in under 2 minutes. My favorite kind of recipe! Over time, the flavors really marry, and the rawness of the onion and garlic mellows. We love this easy salsa recipe so much more than any restaurant or store-bought salsa. I love it when homemade, easy recipes trump all the others.
Homemade Blender Salsa Ingredients
I prefer making my blended salsa with canned tomatoes rather than fresh. Using canned tomatoes keeps this a dump-and-blend recipe and eliminates the need to dirty a knife and cutting board. Gather the following ingredients to make the salsa in a blender:
Canned tomatoes Yellow onions Jalapeño pepper Fresh garlic Ground cumin Salt Granulated sugar Fresh cilantro Fresh lime juice
Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.
