This salsa recipe is one of my two favourite go to salsas that I make the most. There's my restaurant style and my authentic Mexican mild or spicy pico de gallo, you will love them both. Today I'm sharing my speedy restaurant version. It is an addicting homemade salsa with incredible flavour and is loved by everyone.

There is always salsa on the go in my fridge. It's a staple in our house. And for good reason. I put it on everything, tofu scrambled eggs, nachos, chilies, soups, potatoes, pastas, burritos,... I could go on...? I guess you could say it’s the perfect salsa, dip or condiment!

The food processor does all the hard work for you, in this easy peasy recipe. The Rotel tomatoes and chilies pack so much flavour you almost feel like you're cheating, haha. You'll never want store bought salsa again after making this recipe.

How to make Restaurant Style Salsa at home!

The fresh veggies get a whirl in the food processor first and then the canned tomatoes with chilies get mixed in with the spices and other ingredients, And Boom! you have an award winning salsa in a jiffy.

It really is that easy! Just throw some in a bowl and start dipping those chips? And you don't need to run out and buy fresh cilantro either!- well unless you really want to, lol, but I like the flavours in this recipe without it.

Description

Chips and salsa in a jiffy when you make my quick & easy Restaurant Style Salsa. It's bursting with fresh flavour, made with a handful of ingredients and ready in 5 to 10 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • (2) 284 ml (10 oz) cans ( I used mild) Rotel Tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion, rough chopped for food processor ( approx 1/2 small onion)
  • 1/2 cup green pepper, rough chopped for food processor ( approx 1/2 green pepper)
  • 1 celery stalk, rough chopped for food processor
  • 1 tsp garlic salt ( not powder!)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp tumeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp pickled jalapeño juice

Instructions

  1. First add the chopped green peppers, onions and celery to your food processor, and mix until they are super small ( but not mush) and have released their juices. Scrape down the sides a couple of times if you need to.
  2. Now add the Rotel tomatoes, tomato paste, pickled jalapeño juice and spices to the food processor and  pulse until tomatoes are not so chunky. I usually pulse the mixture 10-12 times?
  3. Lastly add your salsa to a bowl, cover and refrigerate it for 30 minutes or longer, to let the flavours develop. Or serve it right away if you can't wait.
  4. Enjoy!

Notes

  • of course you can add chopped cilantro to this salsa but I prefer it without? I enjoy fresh cilantro in my Pico de Gallo recipe.
  • This salsa should keep in the fridge for a week to 10 days.
  • I used Mild Rotel tomatoes with green chilies for this recipe. The heat is perfect.
  • If you would like it spicier, add more pickled jalapeño juice and or a pinch of cayenne pepper,
