Homemade Salsa

Anyone else out there think they could eat Mexican five nights out of the week and never tire of it? 

Yeah, me too.

I just love Mexican food, and much to my husband's demise, I could eat it just about everyday.

Chips and salsa is my favorite food group. (And don't tell me that's not a food group.)

It is.

Anyway... Thanks to my dear friend Heather, this super-easy-and-even-more-delish homemade salsa recipe has saved my life. And we make it at least once every couple of weeks. (Thanks for sharing, Heather!)

You will need three things: a food processor, a craving for fresh salsa, and about seven minutes.

Okay, that's not all.

But the recipe doesn't call for much more than that!

Here we go:

5 roma tomatoes
1/2 onion
2 avocados
pinch of salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
squeeze of fresh lime
fresh cilantro



First, I slice the (half) onion into fourths. Then I throw it in the food processor. 

Next, I slice the roma tomatoes into halves, and I throw them into the food processor.

*Note: How chunky or smooth your salsa becomes is up to you! Pulse for as long or as short as your little heart desires! 


Finally comes the salt, lemon juice, cilantro, and hint of lime juice! These quantities can all be up to your tastebuds, as well! Play around and see how much or little you prefer.

I add the avocados last, because I prefer to not end up with guacamole-salsa. As little pulsing as possible for my avocados, please.



And there you have it, folks!

Use a spatula to scoop out this deliciousness, put in a bowl, and the most important part...




Make sure you have awesome friends to share it with!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Go love somebody.
