Description
This homemade fresh tomato salsa is made with fresh tomatoes, garlic and herbs and comes together in just 10 minutes. It make the best easy appetizer served with tortilla chips that everyone will go crazy for.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6-7 fresh tomatoes – I used a combo of vine, Roma and cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 cup fresh packed cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons green chilies
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the tomatoes. If you are using tomatoes that have seeds then you will want to remove them. If you are using cherry tomatoes then you do not need to remove the seeds. To clean tomatoes all you need to do is slice each one in half, lengthwise, trim off the end and scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Then simply slice them.
- Blend the salsa. Add the chopped tomatoes, red onion, green chilies, cilantro, garlic, honey, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender and blend on high until desired consistency is achieved. I like my salsa chunky so I blended it for about 15 seconds.
- Serve. Pour the salsa into a bowl and serve it with your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
- Use any kind of tomatoes you like in this recipe. You can even use green tomatoes. I love to use a mix of vine ripe cherry tomatoes and Roma tomatoes.
- Switch up the herbs and add in some parsley or basil.
- Use white onion, yellow onion or shallots in place of the red onion.
- To make this recipe fully vegan, use maple syrup, or coconut sugar in place of the honey.
- To make this recipe sugar free, use sugar free maple syrup or stevia as the sweetener in this recipe.
- Store this salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
