My son loves chips and salsa. When he was just a toddler we went to a Mexican restaurant and he was eating chips and salsa. The waitress told us we shouldn’t be letting him eat the salsa because it was too hot for him, but he loved it.
Now he’s nineteen and loves fresh salsa. I’ve never made salsa at home before. So when I saw Laura’s Super Fast Blender Salsa recipe and he was home from school, it was the perfect time to try it.
While I’m sure this recipe would be even better with some homegrown tomatoes, we loved this salsa. The fresh cilantro and lime juice give it a nice fresh flavor that you don’t get from salsa in a jar. Yet it was so easy and simple to make. I used my food processor instead of the blender so that it would be a little more chunky. Here’s my version:

Homemade salsa is the best! This looks great. That’s so funny about your son.
Salsa and chips are a big hit at our house, too. I can’t wait to try this recipe with my kids. They will get such a kick out of making their own salsa.

I adore fresh salsa and pico de gallo. I could eat it for hours.
Have you tried this recipe with stewed tomatoes? Not the Mexican kind…My recipe uses stewed tomatoes and it tastes great! Thanks for a great post!
Your salsa looks mouth-watering!
I love fresh salsa and yours looks delicious! Great blog by the way!
That's amazing that he was that young and loved salsa! Good for him, my kids loved salds when they were little. It looks so good, I love the colors!
This does sound good – super fast is right! I made salsa the other day and it definitely took me longer to chop the tomatoes than it did to make the rest of the salsa!
I love fresh homemade salsa. Using tomatoes with green chiles is a great idea.
Congrats on your award.

I LOVE homemade salsa, so much better than store bought. Can't wait to try this one.
I never tried chips with salsa. I never tried salsa!!! lol
Looks appetizing!
I'm guilty of usually just buying a tub of "fresh" stuff at the store. But I really should be making my own.
Salsa is fantastic!! I've only made a chili salsa, but a fast tomato one sounds great.
I tried this salsa with S&W petite diced tomatoes with jalapenos – it was just the right "heat" and I loved that it tasted so fresh, even with CANNED tomatoes… Love your photo!
I like the idea of the super fast salsa…yum! Yes, you can never get the flvaour you got here out of a jar!
My 19-year-old son loves salsa, too (strangely enough) so I truly must try this recipe. It looks so delicious! And congrats on the award! You do have one lovely blog!
i've never used canned tomatoes before – this looks great
