Q&A–: Does anyone have a simple recipe for salsa?
I have a bunch of tomatoes from my garden and would like to make salsa. I also have hot red peppers. So it can be a recipe for hot or mild salsa. I’ve never made it before, so I will need measurements of each ingredient, with good directions.
Thank you for your time and help.

Don’t forget the cilantro!!

Answer by sandypaws
Depends on how much you want to make…I use about 4 – 5 medium size tomatos, 1 medium onion, a couple of peppers ( whatever heat level you prefer) 1 small bundle of cilantro & lime juice. Chop veggies about the same size or else throw in the food processor. Stir all together, season with salt & pepper & place in fridge….Will keep for about a week, so make plenty – you’ll eat it up before you know it!!

Answer by mande51334
what kind of tomatoes do you have? i use a dozen Roma tomatoes. 1 green bell pepper, 1 yellow/orange bell pepper, 1 vidalia onion, 3-5 cloves of garlic, 1tsp. lemon or lime juice, 2tsp.sugar, 1tsp. salt
a touch of cilantro. and enough hot peppers for the desired heat. i personally use 6-8 jalapenos. chop up all ingredients, mix together and enjoy.for best results i let it sit in refrigerator for a day or 2 to let the flavors blend together. it will get watery so you’ll have to drain the excess off once in awhile. ENJOY!!!!

I hope this helps……

Salsa

Here’s what you will need to make it:

* two 14-ounce diced, spicy tomatoes

* 2 ounces diced green chilies

* 2 cloves of garlic, diced

* 3/4 cup chopped cilantro — it’s an herb that looks like parsley

* 1 medium onion, chopped

* pinch of salt

* tortilla chips

* bowl

* sharp knife

Here’s what you have to do:

1. Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir around, adding the green chilies to taste. (This is what makes it spicy!)

2. Now take a chip and dig in!

I don’t know what to do with the red peppers, so sorry. Have a great day!!!

Answer by Chef Orville
Here’s a simple and tasty salsa I make for all my parties.

4 large tomatoes, small dice
1 medium onion, finely minced
1/2 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined. Serve with tortilla chips.

Answer by hipichick777
Put on 2 pots of water to boil. Put 2 tomatoes in one and peppers in the other. Boil tomatoes a minute or two till skin splits, peel. Boil peppers until soft, about ten minutes.(you can also roast peppers till skin turns black and peel), The amount of peppers depends on how hot you want the salsa, and the variety of the pepper. This is also good with a couple of boiled tomatillos. Put in blender with a clove of garlic and salt, pepper, maybe a teaspoon lime juice and a pinch of cumin. Fresh cilantro is also good to add, about 1/4 cup for this recipe. You can change any or all of this. Salsa is whatever tastes good to you. You can add onion if you want, you can just blend everything up fresh and boil for a few minutes, You can make it chunky or not. There really are no hard fast rules for salsa. You could even sautee or grill all the ingredients first. A friend of mine likes to add vinegar=just a splash to her salsas.

Wonderful simple recipe for salsa:

Corn Chips with Corn Salsa

Image by giveawayboy
I know, I know. Corn on corn. Overkill eh? Well, I was having a little fun today. This is my version of Chipotle’s corn salsa, minus the poblano. Pretty simple. Here’s the recipe:

Simple Corn Salsa

Ingredients:

~one bag frozen corn kernels
~one red onion
~one green pepper
~cilantro
~two lemons or limes or one of each

Preparation:

1) Thaw corn and drain water from bag
(depending on how much you are making you can decide to put some aside for later use)

2) Chop half of the green pepper and about 1/3 of the onion fine.

3) Take cilantro leaves and chop until fine.

4) Combine corn and all other ingredients into a large bowl.

5) Squeeze and strain juice from lemons or limes. You can use the meat for something else or you can simply eat it from the fruit before disposing of the skins. Also, if you can, compost what remains.

6) Pour the lemon or lime juice into the large bowl and stir until all contents is bathed in the juice. Allow to sit for a bit. You may salt if you wish though it tastes good fresh too.

7) Enjoy* with blue corn chips or on it’s own! Goes well with water and a slice of lemon.

* Remember to always keep portion sizes small.
