I was wondering if anyone had a good homeade salsa recipe? It can be mild to spicy, it doesn't matter, like them both! My mom used to make the best homeade stuff but can't find her recipe. I am growing my own tomatoes in my Topsy Turvy and it is loaded with fruit so I am sure I will have extra tomatoes to cook with. Variety in recipes will be good too! Thanks so much! My mouth is watering already!

MC I don't eat tomatoes, but I see that Topsy Turvy on TV all the time and I was wondering if it really worked.

Oh my gosh, that thing is crazy! I have a HUGE tomato plant! It started out as a baby, now the plant is hanging almost to the ground and the size of a bush!

When I make salsa, I just combine the following:
diced fresh tomatoes
diced red onion
diced jalapeno, seeds and membrane removed
chopped cilantro
fresh minced garlic
salt (optional)
about 1 tsp. olive oil
about 1 tbsp. lime juice
a little water, depending on how runny you want itI've combined all of this in a blender before, but I like it a lot better when it's a little bit chunkier! Enjoy!!

Lol, I've never used amounts, but I make salsa with onions, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, bell peppers (all three colors), and white wine vinegar.
Half of the tomatoes go into the blender with the vinegar and are chopped up. Then just dice everything and toss it all into a bowl together.

Salsa Recipes
This authentic Mexican tomato salsa recipe is very easy to make. It sure is easier and a heck of a lot quicker to reach for a blender, but we love the chunky, rustic texture of salsas made in a molcajete, or traditional Mexican mortar. And spices ground against the rough black basalt give off truly potent aromas - which make our meals all the more flavorful.
Authentic Mexican kitchen items
Are you getting hungry, yet?
Char the tomatoes over a gas grill or under the flame of a hot broiler for a few seconds, turning them until the peel blisters. Slip off the peel, and the flesh will still be firm. Remove the green stem core and cut the tomatoes in half vertically. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds.
In the food processor, turn the motor on chop first and drop in the garlic, cilantro, green onions and jalapeños into the bowl of the food processor to chop for just a few seconds.
Turn off the motor and scrap down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula.
Add all the remaining ingredients from the tomato salsa recipe, tomatoes, Anaheim chili, the chopped green chilies, olive oil and lime juice . Process with brief pulses to reach the desired texture, somewhere between a chow-chow relish and a textured puree.
You want to see bits of all the vegetables through out the salsa.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into a serving bowl and allow to season for approximately one hour.
Just before serving mix in the 1/4 cup of ice water to cool the salsa.
Serve with tortilla chips, enhance your favorite chicken recipes, fish, barbecue beef, or with beans wrapped in a tortilla.
I char the tomatoes in the oven and sometimes just skip that part all together.

Kinda what I thought MS, but I always look for a good old "family" recipe if someone has one! I have that one from Prevention torn out, let me know how it turns out!

I had to laugh at this one - my "old family recipe" was handed down to me from my oldest son - he learned it at school - he actually took a "home ec" kind of class and one of the meals he had to make was a mexican meal - he did pretty good and I still use the recipe - too easy, but good. Of course it is so close to some of the others already up that I'll just keep it to myself for now - but the biggest thing is to make it according to your own tastes - if someone doesn't like it tell them to feel free to make it the next time. They will probably not do so again.

I do roast my own chilies. But I know that in some parts of the country the fresh ones just aren't readily available.
