Today, I am making an easy, super fresh salsa using simple ingredients. All you need is a small food processor (or immersion blender) and less than 5 minutes to blend up the ingredients. I used canned diced tomatoes, an onion, jalapeno, salt and fresh cilantro. The result is a tasty, better than store bought salsa. 

To make this salsa, there is no cooking required. Simply throw all the ingredients in a food processor. If you enjoy a little heat, keep the ribs and seeds of the jalapeno. If you prefer a milder salsa, simply remove the ribs and seeds of the jalapeno. It’s as easy as that. Enjoy this salsa with gluten free chips, or with dishes you love, like salsa chicken, or tacos.   

This fresh salsa is naturally gluten free, sugar free and has no preservatives or sketchy ingredients. The salsa is suitable for vegans/vegetarians.

How to Store this Fresh Homemade Salsa 

Store leftover salsa in a glass container. Must be kept in the fridge. Should be eaten within 5-7 days for best taste. Do not freeze.
