A staple in my house

Okay I am addicted to salsa, it's pretty bad I could eat it everyday (practically do). This recipe is easy and flavorful....so eat up. I know I will.


You just need a food processor and:
2- jalapeno peppers
1- anaheim pepper
cilantro (about 20 sprigs)
2- garlic cloves
1/4-1/2 onion
1- 8 oz. can diced tomatoes

for spices:
1/4 tsp. of all of these:
-garlic powder
-lemon pepper
-oregano

salt to taste
a splash of lime juice
chili powder -(just a dash too much will make it too hot)

Since I prefer my salsa extra hot,
I use 3/4 of the anaheim pepper and both the jalapenos.
If you want a milder salsa just use half the peppers,
and adjust spices.
Also, I process the garlic, cilantro, peppers
and onions before I put the tomatoes
and the rest of spices in.

oh my god, i'm totally the same way! i went through a homemade salsa phase i couldn't stop making it! i made one with oranges in it, it was intensely good.

i'm going to try this one. i love hot hot salsa too, but no one around really shares that with me.

oranges? you will have to give me that recipe, sounds different.

no one i know likes really hot salsa either. to me it's the only way to eat it. glad i'm not the only one with a salsa addiction.
