Since our garden is growing out of control, this weekend August and I set out to make some salsa using home-grown tomatoes. I looked online through a couple of salsa recipes and all were a little more work and ingredients than we were interested in. We wanted a no-cook, low ingredient, tasty recipe. Turns out our favorite Royitos salsa fit the bill.
Only 4 ingredients! Granted we weren’t sure how much of each ingredient we needed but we decided to give it a go.
Ingredients
50 Juliette Tomatoes
4 Serrano and 2 jalapeño peppers (this can be modified depending on how spicy you want it, but we were going for mild)
2 Lemons
Salt
We started by blending all of the tomatoes. We used small Juliette tomatoes which is why we needed so many. Of course, once we have a sufficient number of regular sized tomatoes we’ll use quite a bit less.
After the tomatoes were well blended, we added 4 serrano peppers (only 2 with seeds) and 2 jalapeño peppers. At first we were nervous about the spiciness of the serranos but apparently 50 blended tomatoes masks the spiciness quite well. We had to add a lot more peppers than I originally anticipated and we aren’t even spicy-lovin’ people!
Add in the juice of 2 lemons and a couple shakes of the salt shaker.
Blend everything together and voila, restaurant-worthy salsa.
Do you like spicy or mild salsa? Ever made your own?
