Simple and Delicious Summer Salsas

Summer isn’t summer without a yummy salsa.

I make sure to plant extra tomatoes, jalapeños, peppers and onions in my gardens just for salsa making.

Use my simple salsa recipe as a “basic” recipe as a foundation for all salsas, then add simple whole food ingredients from the recipe options below,  to enjoy a variety of delicious salsas.

Basic Salsa recipe:

1T lime juice

1/2 c red onion, chopped

1/2 c cilantro, chopped

2 garlic clove, minced

1/4 tsp raw organic honey (you can leave this out in the mango salsa)

1/2 tsp pink himalayan sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Then, add in desired variations to enjoy a variety of salsas.

Tomatillo Salsa–delicious with scrambled eggs

5 tomatillos, diced (oven-roasted adds extra flavor)

2 avocados, diced

1/4 serrano chile

Peach Salsa (this has a “kick”)–best with guacamole and homemade corn chips

4 peaches, diced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 tsp ginger (fresh grated is best)

1/4 tsp jalapeno, diced

Basic Fresca--add more or less onion, garlic and cilantro based on your preference. Delicious as a topping to black bean soup.

4 tomatoes, diced

1/2 jalapeno, diced

1/4 white onion, diced

1/4 c cilantro, diced

1 garlic clove, minced

Mango Salsa: 

2 c mango

1 avocado, diced

2 tomatoes, diced

1/2 red onion, diced

1/2 c cilantro, chopped

1/4 jalapeno, diced

2 garlic cloves, diced

1 red pepper, diced

Enjoy!
