The easy salsa recipe is a versatile one. Add as much or as little heat as you like. I like mine a little garlicky, so I add two cloves of garlic. If you aren’t a fan of garlic, then go with a single clove. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, just don’t blend as much. And as far as heat goes, add as little or as much jalapeño as you can handle. Or add in a little hot sauce.
Mexican food is a favorite of mine. You too!? I love going to a Mexican restaurant and diving into their chips and salsa before the meal comes! Once you learn how to make homemade salsa, you won’t need to go out to your local Mexican restaurant for a fix. You can easily whip up a batch of this Restaurant Style Salsa at home to indulge on with a bag of tortilla chips.
This Restaurant Style Salsa is always popular and is great with tortilla chips or serve it with your favorite Mexican dish (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc). I especially love it with omelets and scrambled eggs!
