Homemade Salsa


Homemade Salsa 

Homemade salsa is easy and low calorie! It contains so many vital nutrients and is packed with many antioxidants. 

Recipe

Tomatoes (you can also use can tomatoes)
Red, yellow, and orange bell pepper
Purple onion
Jalapeno (I used a small can of jalapenos)
Fresh Cilantro
Fresh Parsley
Garlic cloves
Garlic powder
Salt/Pepper
Olive oil
Lime (You can also use lemon if you don't have a lime)
Tomato sauce
You can also add corn and black beans to make it a corn and black bean salsa. 

Directions

Dice tomatoes, peppers and onion. Chop cilantro and parsley and add to bowl. Mince garlic cloves. Squeeze lime juice into bowl. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper. If you are using fresh tomatoes you may want to add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce. Add more or less depending how chunky you like your salsa. If it still seems too thick add a small amount of water to make it the consistency that you like. Be sure to adjust your seasoning as you go. You may need to add more garlic powder, salt, pepper and lime juice.
