Looking for a tasty dip, topping for your tacos and quesadillas or a way to add some zing to a breakfast burrito? Homemade salsa is a great way to bring fresh ingredients together in just minutes…and, of course, please the masses!

For spicy, savory homemade salsa that serves 12, simply blend the following ingredients in your food processor:

• 12 ounces of diced tomatoes including juices
• 1 pound of chopped plum tomatoes
• ½ a chopped onion
• 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
• 2 diced garlic cloves
• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon of juice from a fresh lime
• 1 teaspoon of chili powder and
• Salt and pepper to taste

Then just place your salsa in an airtight container, allowing the flavors to deliciously meld for an hour or two or overnight.

Plus, here are a few helpful tips to help you along your tangy travels:

• Be careful not to over-blend your salsa. You want to incorporate your ingredients, but maintain the integrity of your textures.
• If you like your salsa more spicy, add more jalapenos.
• The more lines a jalapeno pepper has, the spicier it will be.
• Using a Vidalia onion will add a yummy hint of sweetness to the mix!
