- Freshen It Up: A squeeze of fresh lime or lemon adds brightness to the flavor.
- Make It Chunky or Smooth: Pulse less for chunky salsa, blend longer for smooth.

This sounds delicious. I love all of those ingredients and love making my own sauces, pesto, gazpacho, and guac. To be honest, I’ve not made salsa in ages, so I’m excited to try your recipe. Looks wonderful to me!
This salsa looks so rich and delicious. I never thought of making it in a blender. That’s genius.
The Salsa recipe is so easy and convenient. The best part is that most of the ingredients are usually available in the kitchen and hence this can prepared in a jiffy. We love to have this with Tacos, and we like it a bit spicy too .
You know … I’m so lame I never actually thought of putting all those ingredients into a blender. HA! HA! That could totally make my life easier! Thank you for sharing this. It’s my own hack that I’m sure everyone’s been doing for a long time but good to learn something new even if it might be old!
This is awesome! I love fresh salsa like this! So yummy!
My go-to salsa is almost identical to yours, except I also add minced ginger and stream in avocado oil to give it a nice saucy consistency. There’s truly no better way to use tomatoes fresh from the garden and ’tis the season! x
This salsa recipe looks like some of the great salsa recipes I have made in the past. I would recommend maybe getting fresh tomatoes and then boiling them first to get the skins off. It will intensify the flavor of the salsa. Someone recommended that to me and it totally helped out. Great recipe though.
Blenders sure make life easier at times, don’t they!? I love great salsa recipes and lately, I have been craving salsa. This post came at the perfect time for me. Now, excuse me while I run t the store with your ingredient list.
I didn’t know cilantro would have such a big effect on the taste and probably on the aroma as well. It’s quite hard to find fresh cilantro in the local market over here. Your salsa looks delectable and bright! Love it. 🙂
I hardly make my own salsa at home and I don’t really know why! It’s totally something I should pick up and I love the fact that this one is made in a blender. How easy is that?!
I’ve never tried to make salsa, but this recipe looks delicious and I have most of the ingredients. Might nee to try this!
