It has been some time since my last recipe post. Sometimes, something has to give. These two sweet boys of mine keep me very very busy! They have so much energy! We are always on the go or in action.
This is one of my favorite recipes. It is adapted from my mother in law. It is always a hit wherever we bring it. People love it. My family has grown to expect that I will be preparing some salsa for get togethers. Ha! What I love about it is how laid back it is. The ingredients do not have to be exactly to a science. You don’t have to eat it with chips either! It is super simple to make.
Fresh salsa served over spinach, shrimp, and brown rice.
Fresh Salsa
- 2-4 tomatoes, depending on the size.
- 1/2 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- Cilantro, to taste. (I like to be generous!)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 lemon juiced (this is usually a little over 2 Tbsp)
- Jalapeno, 1, 1/2, 1/4, depending on how spicy you want it. The more jalapeno, the spicier!
Combine all ingredients into a good quality blender or food processor. I use my Vitamix. Use the pulse setting to keep it from being totally liquified. You can make it as chunky or as smooth as you want.
It can be served with tortilla chips as a yummy snack or appetizer. It can also be for a meal. I used some leftovers for my dinner. I boiled some shrimp and chopped up some spinach. I served those over some brown rice and topped it off with this yummy healthy salsa. It was a delicious and health dinner!
