Easy Restaurant Style Salsa

Now, did you really think you were going to get through a week here on my blog without hearing about something to do with either chips and salsa or tacos?

Today I am sharing with you my super easy restaurant-style salsa. My daughter and I have been making this for years. I take it to every party and they swear that I have slaved over a big pot of tomatoes creating this delicious salsa recipe.

But really — it takes me less than 5. minutes.

My secret ingredient? diced tomatoes with green chiles — for real. That's it. It has everything in it you could ever want for salsa. From this can, you can jazz it up and go as hot or bland as you want.

I buy the big can because, in our household, salsa is a food group all on its own — and many times, I opt for chips and salsa for dinner instead of actual dinner. I know, I'm cool like that 🙂 Of course, you can always make a batch of my restaurant-style Mexican Cheese Dip to go with your salsa as well.

So — what do I do to make this easy restaurant-style salsa so good? Let me tell you.

How to Make Easy Restaurant Style Salsa

In my blender ( I have this exact Ninja 4 in 1 and I love it), I place the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, along with 3 green onions, 1 lemon juiced, a bunch of cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, jarred jalapenos and some of the juice as well as salt and pepper to taste.

Then I pulse a few times until everything is broken up but still chunky. I don't like it to be completely pureed. I like to see chunks of tomatoes, onions, and cilantro in my salsa.

Then, I pour it in a bowl to serve my guests (who am I kidding — this bowl is just for me) along with tortilla chips or if someone is carb-free, I put out veggie sticks to dip in the salsa.

Look at all that salsa goodness going on. Seriously, in our home, we are never without a big bowl of salsa in the refrigerator.

This stuff holds up so well and will last for over a month in the refrigerator (maybe longer, but we have never had it last longer than a week in our house because we eat so much of it).

I put this on all things like my pork tacos, my nachos, on eggs, the possibilities are endless.
