Very close to my go to salsa recipe. I add minced ginger (I know, just try it), a little vinegar, and cilantro. Love the stuff!

I add red and yellow bell pepper, canned green chili, and corn. No sugar needed it’s very sweet with these ingredients!

1. Do you blend the peppers and corn in or just toss it?

2. There is nothing better than going to a good Mexican restaurant and eating all of the chips and salsa in sight. Fresh homemade salsa is the best and I especially like making a big batch at home. What is it about chips and salsa that are so good and addicting? I especially love eating salsa with some whole-grain chips for a healthy snack. This salsa is perfect and honestly the BEST that I have tried. I have been making it for a while now, but I think I have perfected it and made it the very best. And with a few ingredients, in 5 minutes of your time, you will be having all of the chips and salsa that your

I didn’t have any garlic salt but I added garlic powder and salt (2:1). Also, I didn’t add jalapeno because my boyfriend has some stomach issues. I cooked the onion on medium fire with the garlic powder because I’m having headaches when I eat raw onion (true story). The recipe turned out perfect. I didn’t need to adjust the seasoning after tasting it. It’s a great substitute for the commercial salsa. In the future, I may try a chunky version with some tomato and pepper cubes. It’s definitely a keeper!

This is the best quick salsa. My family eats it quicker than I can put it in the fridge.
Thanks for the recipe!

This is a hit! I’ve made this salsa at least a dozen times and it disappears fast! Thanks for the recipe 🙂

Thank you for this recipe!! This will be my go-to from now on. I like my salsa with a kick, so instead of jalapeno, i added a habanero….great hot sauce!!!

Hi Corey, can you freeze this salsa? Also, your children are adorable. They are blessed to have a mama who cooks them good food.

1. Awww. Thanks Tammy 🙂 To be honest, I have never frozen salsa ( we always devour it) so I can’t say for sure. If you do try it, would you let us know how it works out?
