Easy fresh salsa recipe.

I have previously posted our quick and easy recipe for fresh salsa, but we have since tweaked the recipe and it’s even better, so I wanted to share those updates. So now a new and improved fresh salsa recipe for you!

Ready? Grab these ingredients and start the timer….

an onion
fresh cilantro
a jalapeno pepper
clove of garlic
2 cans of Fire-Roasted diced tomatoes
some beef base or beef boullio
chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
salt

Not pictured: fresh cilantro and salt.

Wash and throw a bunch of fresh cilantro into a food processor. (Don’t even worry about the stems.)

Use fresh cilantro and a food processor to make delicious salsa.

Pulse it a few times. (Do not simply turn it on and leave it on. You’ll have cilantro puree and no one wants that.) Add half of a large yellow onion (chunked), the clove of garlic. Pulse a few times. Lop off the top and stem of the jalapeno, cut in half and toss in there too. If you want a lot of heat, leave the seeds and membranes in the pepper, otherwise, remove them. Add a healthy sprinkle of salt and pulse a few more times. (We like our salsa kind of chunky.)

Here are the changes:
Add in about a teaspoon of beef base. The original recipe called for a beef bouillon cube, but the depth of flavor from this beef base is just soooo much better!

When making fresh salsa, use a little beef base or bouillon. It adds a bit of savory goodness.

Next, you’ll want to take about half of one of those chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and plop that on into the mix. It adds a fantastic smoky heat. (mmm. Why didn’t I always add these…?)
