TIPS FOR PERFECT HOMEMADE SALSA
Salsa is SO easy to make at home. Here are a few of my favorite tips to make this recipe perfectly delicious!
USE PULSE :I make this in my blender but you can also make this with a food processor if you prefer, just simply pulse to reach desired consistency. It only take sa few seconds and you don’t want to make it too runny!
FOR THICKER SALSA: If you’d like your salsa to be a little bit thicker, remove some of the juice from your canned tomatoes and set it aside. You can always add a little bit back in if you’d like.
TO ADJUST THE SPICE LEVEL: The seeds/membranes in the jalapenos holds the heat. For a milder salsa, remove all of the seeds and membranes, for a spicy salsa, leave them in! Replace with green chiles for a milder flavor.
