Fresh Salsa in Under 5 Minutes

Last summer I grew to love Biz's baja fresh salsa.  And to this day it is my fresh salsa of choice.  But when I'm short on time or just plain lazy, I make this version instead.

Like I've said before, I'm a little bit of a salsa snob.  I'd prefer a fresh batch of salsa to go along with my never-ending bowl of tortilla chips any day over a jarred version.  To me the veggies in jarred salsa seem a little rubbery.



What usually happens is I whip up a batch of this salsa at night when the husband is working.  Then he proceeds to come home in the wee morning hours, eat half the bowl, and come to bed with dragon breath having inhaled enough chips and salsa for a few people.

It's a lovely smell to wake up to at 2 a.m.

Fresh Salsa

3-4 medium sized tomatoes, cored

2 Anaheim chili peppers

2 cloves garlic

1 small onion (optional)

1 t. salt

2 T. lemon or lime juice

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend to your desired consistency.  We like ours on the smoother side, versus chunky, but that is completely up to your tastes.

Serve with tortilla chips or pour over enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, omelets, baked potatoes, the list is endless.  Or just drink it.  It is that good.

Later today we have a lunch date at Happy Joe's with co-workers and then I HAVE to go grocery shopping.  We barely have milk in the fridge let alone anything else, it is pretty sad!  I'm pretty sure I've decided (thanks to my Facebook fans) to make a batch of sangria this weekend.  It won out over the margaritas.

Guess I'll be making more salsa too.
