Salsa - 2 posts in 2 day...hold on to your sombreros

Ooooh, my first food post. I found this salsa recipe online and made it before we left for California. It was delicious, we both loved it so much I think it will replace buying salsa for our household. I always love when I find a recipe that replaces something we buy pre-made, mostly because then I know what's going into it and I can control more of the 'bad stuff' - salt, sugar, fat... (you know the stuff that tastes really good) and I had to add my own twist on the recipe. 

The best part is you just throw everything into the blender or food processor and hit the button. 

Okay, a little rough chopping of the onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeno.

Then you hit the button and presto! Salsa like at the Mexican restaurant

Stored in a mason jar, I'm not too sure how long its refrigerator stable, because it doesn't last too long around this joint. 

Thomas approved. 

Yes, he volunteered for that picture while snuggling his baby. 

Give it a try
