Recipe: Memorial Day Salsa

Posted on the 25 May 2012 by Latinaprpro @latinaprpro
I'm a HUGE fan of making side-dishes and dips that are simple to prepare, yet flavorful.
In celebration of Memorial Day, I invite you to make this 10-minute salsa that will please even the pickiest eaters at your BBQ!
Ingredients:
  • 1 14.5 ounce of diced and no salt added tomatoes (you may also use "fire roasted" tomatoes if you prefer an earthier flavor)
  • 1 12 ounce can of chopped jalapeño peppers pickled in vinegar (save the vinegar but throw-out the carrots)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt to taste

I LOVE Embasa jalapeños


Preparation:
Combine the diced tomatoes including liquid with the chopped jalapeño peppers and half of the vinegar/liquid.  Add the onion, cilantro and salt to taste.

Blend with a light hand


Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors mend.

Notice how the color of the salsa slightly changes after being refrigerated


Serve the salsa with your favorite tortilla chips and watch it disappear quicker than you made it!  
Provecho!
