As per request, I am putting this salsa recipe on the blog. You can't beat homemade salsa flavor-wise, and it is FAR cheaper than buying ready-made salsa. However, this salsa doesn't keep nearly as long as salsa from the store, so you'll want to make sure you can eat it all up within a week if you're going to make it. I've never tried freezing it--I'm not sure it would be as good once thawed though. Anyway, here ya go!
Ingredients:
1 can diced tomatoes1 jalepeno, seeded and diced (if you like it spicy, put a few seeds in the salsa)
1 green onion stalk or 1/2 an onion finely diced
1/8 tsp. garlic
A dash or two of chile powder
1/2 tsp. season salt
1/2 tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
I don't often have cilantro when I decide to make salsa, but it's fine without it.
Put tomatoes in a blender and hit the pulse button 2 or 3 times, just enough to make the tomato pieces smaller, but not pureed smooth (unless you don't like any chunks). Pour tomatoes into whatever container you plan on storing or serving it in. Chop up the onion and jalepeno and add to the tomatoes. Add the spices and give it a good stir. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and maybe mix up some good guacamole to go along with it!
(If you like chilled salsa, you might want to make this the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight).
