If your family is like mine they devour salsa. Salsa and chips, salsa on tacos, salsa on breakfast burritos. It’s such a staple in our house I decided to make a recipe out of things we had. I did have to go the grocery store for a couple of things like fresh green pepper, onion, and tomatoes.
This recipe gives us the right amount of kick without being too spicy....which our family does not like real spicy foods. Well, other than my husband, but he can fend for himself, right? I’m kidding, he will just add more spice to foods if he wants to.
Ok, so, instead of boring you with too much of the background story of how this salsa came to life, I’ll cut right to the recipe! And as a side note, I’m an Aldi shopper, so most of the ingredients came from Aldi, other than the spices!
Recipe:
This recipe yields 2 jars~ I reused the salsa jars from Aldi (see I recycle too)
1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
1 can tomato with green chilies (10 oz)
1 fresh chopped tomato cut up to give the salsa it’s chunkiness
1 fresh chopped green pepper, again to help make the salsa chunky
1 chopped white onion (see above for reason of using onion)
4 tsp cumin
4 tsp suga
2-3 hardy shakes of cilantro. If you can use fresh cilantro I would recommend it....note to self...much purchase cilantro plant!
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp garlic powder
I put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. This is also a recipe your kids can help with. My 5 year old loved making this with me and enjoys eating her own creations!
