Sam's Slammin Salsa

Recipe #327867 | 1 hour | 1 hour prep | add private note

Chunky salsa with maximum flavor. I experimented with several traditional salsa recipes and this is my result. It is very enjoyable and can be adjusted easily to preferred level of heat.

SERVES 8 , 1 Medium Container (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    1. Get a container to put the salsa inches.
  2. 2
    2. Dice the tomatoes as fine as possible. I do this by hand with a large knife for maximum control.
  3. 3
    3. Dump the Tomatoes into the container.
  4. 4
    4. Dice Peppers and Onions to desired size, I prefer them as small as possible while still remaining visible in the salsa. CAUTION: Be very carful cutting the Jalapeno's and especially Habaneros. Use a plastic glove if you can as exposing the pepper juice to the skin will make your hands burn for days. Dump Into container.
  5. 5
    5. Dice the cilantro leaves. This is tricky because the cilantro is not exactly conducive to chopping. You can also try tearing the leaves with your hands. Dump into container.
  6. 6
    6. Add Salt. One to two teaspoons usually does it. Just adjust to taste.
  7. 7
    7. Add Lime. Same with salt one to two tablespoons usually does it.
  8. 8
    8. Use a spoon to mix all the ingredients together in the salsa.
  9. 9
    9. Refrigerate.

I adore this salsa. I've eaten it when Sam has made it, and I begged him to put it online so I could make it myself. On chips, on celery, on carrots, on pita bread--it's awesome. My favorite by far. The hand-chopping really takes it to the next level because it makes it "just chunky enough." Thanks for sharing, Sam!
