This amazing salsa requires no tomato chopping and comes together in just a few minutes with a blender! Restaurant quality – without the restaurant price!
I’ve always been a big fan of the whole after-school-snack thing.As a kid it was my favorite part of the day. Still is. But now it’s become an after-school-after-work-after-play snack. Basically anytime I can sneak it in my day, I do. Oh look, I just woke up, time for an after-sleep snack.
As I’ve gotten a bit … older? Cause I’m really old (not.) …mature? (ha. that’s funny.) Since I was little (that works) I’ve come to like all sorts of foods for snacks, but when I was a kid it was one thing: salsa. Every. Single. Day. I had a routine.
Go to school —> Come home from school —> eat a jar of salsa. Yes, a jar. A whole section of our pantry was filled with Pace jars with my name on it. Literally. I wrote my name on them. In a family of nine children, it was necessary. Sometimes I am tempted to put my name on the salsa these days but then I remember it’s just me and my husband here. And he knows better than to eat the last of the salsa without replacing it.
This salsa is my new best friend. It costs a total of… maybe 3 dollars? And it’s so EASY. Like, 10 minutes easy. You just throw everything in the blender, give a few pulses, done. Perfect salsa. And a lot of it. For me it would last about seven seconds, but for normal people, this recipe will make a batch of 5-6 cups of salsa. So you do the math. That could last you a while, or you could feed a big party. Both are wins.
Salsa was the first thing I ever learned how to make (successfully) and I would make it entirely from scratch – tomato chopping and all. And I love made-from-scratch salsa with fresh off the vine tomatoes, I do, but something must be said for addicting restaurant-quality salsa that can be made in minutes without dicing a single tomato. And this is what must be said: “This salsa is PERFECT! “

This is just like my favorite Mexican restaurant’s recipe. Love it! So, now that I have made this giant blender of salsa…how long does it stay good in the refrigerator?
Thank you!!!
Hi Alyssa! Isn’t this salsa great?? I keep a batch of it in the fridge at all times – I just ran out yesterday so I’m about to whip some up again! I’ve kept it covered in my fridge up to 3-4 weeks and it was still good, it’s always gone by then so I’m not sure if it would last longer! 🙂
This salsa is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Thanks for sharing recipe!
You’re so welcome Sandy, I’m glad you liked it!! 🙂
