Nice 5 minute recipe! Turned out perfect
Hmm … mine doesn’t look like this at all. Followed the recipe to a T and my salsa looks pink and slightly foamy … it tastes fine but it certainly doesn’t look like salsa to me.
needed riper tomatoes. The foam is prob just the blender or processor adding air
It was really delicious. The original recipe was a tad high on sodium so I reduced the amount.
thank you Chandra
Hi Richa,
I just made this, so tasty! Thanks
But it wasn’t as bright red as in your picture.
Does cumin make it brownish?
great, thanks. well, it’s only 1/4 tsp so it shouldn’t make it brownish. I use a professional camera that makes colours really pop out naturally!
Hi, i’m gonna try this salsa recipe tomorrow it looks really good, one question though – I like it spicy, could I triple the amount of jalapeno without spoiling something? Thanks in advance
yes.
This looks so great, Richa! I love salsa and have had it with chips for dinner before lol!!
OMG! This is the best tasting quick raw salsa and this comes from someone who grew up in a latin home eating salsa since childhood! Thank you 🙂
yay thank you!
OMG! Looks so yummy!! Will have to try when Steven’s parents come into town!! Thanks for the share. 😀
This turned out great! I love that even though I used canned tomatoes the end product tastes like everything was fresh. Thanks for such a quick, easy salsa recipe!
