    Blender Salsa
    My son loves chips and salsa. When he was just a toddler we went to a Mexican restaurant and he was eating chips and salsa. The waitress told us we shouldn’t be letting him eat the salsa because it was too hot for him, but he loved it.

    Now he’s nineteen and loves fresh salsa. I’ve never made salsa at home before. So when I saw Laura’s Super Fast Blender Salsa recipe and he was home from school, it was the perfect time to try it.

    While I’m sure this recipe would be even better with some homegrown tomatoes, we loved this salsa. The fresh cilantro and lime juice give it a nice fresh flavor that you don’t get from salsa in a jar. Yet it was so easy and simple to make. I used my food processor instead of the blender so that it would be a little more chunky. Here’s my version:

      I tried this salsa with S&W petite diced tomatoes with jalapenos – it was just the right "heat" and I loved that it tasted so fresh, even with CANNED tomatoes… Love your photo!

      Salsa is fantastic!! I've only made a chili salsa, but a fast tomato one sounds great.

      I'm guilty of usually just buying a tub of "fresh" stuff at the store. But I really should be making my own.

      I love fresh homemade salsa. Using tomatoes with green chiles is a great idea.

      Congrats on your award.

      This does sound good – super fast is right! I made salsa the other day and it definitely took me longer to chop the tomatoes than it did to make the rest of the salsa!
