    You know the free chips and salsa you get at the Mexican restaurant? It's time to make it at home. This Mexican salsa recipe was shared with me yearssssss ago by a friend who owned a Mexican Restaurant, and shared the secret of why my salsa at home was never as good as hers in the restaurant...

    Are you ready for this?

    It's because I was using fresh ingredients.

    Yep, that's right. 100% FRESH ingredients are NOT the way to go if you want to make the best restaurant style salsa at home.

    ingredients for salsa

    So you're looking at the picture above of all the ingredients. And you're thinking ... but there ARE fresh ingredients there, Marianne!

    You're right. But I was using KEY fresh ingredients that should have been canned. Specifically, fresh tomatoes and jalapeños.

    But we're all in luck, because using two canned ingredients makes this a breeze to make whenever you're in the mood for salsa.

    Just throw everything in a small food processor, put it in good ol' fashioned sanitized Ball jars, and keep in the fridge for up to a month.

    By the way, if you are in the market, this is my food processor, and I LOVE it: Marianne's Favorite Small Food Processor

    We almost always keep a jar of this easy homemade salsa in the fridge, ready to go. It's a family favorite, and great for not only dipping with tortilla chips, but also can be used in any recipe that calls for salsa when cooking.
