As I was browsing the Food TV networks website, I saw this recipe that looked quick and easy. It was featured on a show about “All American Festivals.” I love those shows a lot because its just regular people making fantastic things!
Ingredients
5 tomatoes, chopped
3 bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
2 onions, chopped
2 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1 lime, juiced
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
Salt
Pepper
Directions
Combine the tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, jalapenos, crushed red pepper, lemon juice, lime juice, and cilantro in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. (Then if you are like me, and don’t like chunky, just puree in a blender).
Serve with your favorite chips.
I’ve planted my topsy turvey tomato plants a few weeks ago, so I can’t wait to make something like this when they come in!
Check out my sister’s blog for her amazing grilled salsa, its to die for!!
What’s your favorite salsa to make?
Do you know that I was watching that show a couple weeks ago and they were at some festival asking a woman about w/e the featured item was (ribs?) and it was Sunny Anderson?!?!?! I rewound the DVR and checked again to make sure, but I thought that was really funny b/c now she has her own show. Just a freak luck of nature to get featured on the festival and then years later everybody knows and watches her show!
The pink salsa sounds great with tomatoes and peppers! Great with chips!
Christina, I didn’t see that! Maybe that’s how she was discovered??
Did you watch the next Food TV star on Sunday??
Salsa was my favorite salad dressing for a long time! So few calories with such great flavor. I love salsa verde as well as peach salsa. And of course roasted garlic. I love the bell peppers in this. I always add them to my marinara sauce, so I imagine they’d be great in this as well.
I love salsa-for chips, dressing, anything really! I am with Joanne, peach salsa is soo great-sweet and spicy mixture.
Thanks for the recipe-I am definitely going to check out your sis’s grilled salsa-sounds intriguing!!!
Looks yummy – I love salsa (but like it chunky 🙂 )! I love how there’s both lemon and lime juice in in this one. I was going to ask how the topsy turvey tomato plants were doing!
Sounds great. Lately, I’ve been making a salsa with roasted chiles. I stole the idea from a tex-mex restaurant here in Austin.
Sounds great – I love salsa! I tried a roasted vegetable salsa with corn, very good!!
Sounds great!
Sounds delicious. I would add avocado in your salsa, then it become my favorite salsa. YUM!
This sounds like a wonderful salsa. My favorite is roasted corn salsa with lots of cilantro!
