Let's Salsa!

No, we're not dancing. But you might want to after you try this easy recipe for homemade salsa. The great thing about it is that you can adjust any of the ingredients to accommodate your palate. Obviously, you can adjust the jalapeno amount to fit your needs; you can also add different spices that you may like or substitute different types of peppers for slightly different flavor.

For this recipe, you really want some sort of food processor or blender in order to release the full flavor of all the ingredients.

Here goes:

Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
Next, cut up 3 roma tomatoes to 1-inch sections.
Cut up ¼ bell pepper (preferably green) and ¼ onion into small pieces.
Slice up 3 green onions, discarding the tops.
Place all ingredients into your processor and carefully pulse until it's just a little thicker than what you want it to be.
Next, for mild-hot salsa, cut 2 1-inch sections of a jalepeño. (You can add more or use less depending on your taste).
Add about ¼ cup cilantro leaves.
Lastly, sprinkle 2 pinches of salt and squeeze a whole lime into the processor.
Pulse this mixture to your desired consistency.

Now heat up some chips, brag to your friends, and enjoy!
