Who doesn’t love Salsa? I grew up on the stuff (remember – I’m half Mexican!) I’ve always loved a great Homemade Salsa recipe and have tried so many different kinds growing up. I’ve also tried many recipes myself and have enjoyed them all but think I finally found the easiest and yummiest way to make homemade salsa. It literally takes just a few minutes to make and tastes like it came straight from the restaurant. All I need is a big bowl of homemade Tortilla Chips and I’m set. š
My Aunt Chris makes the best chips, so I guess I’ll have her teach me one of these days. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy this salsa recipe with all the tacos and enchiladas I make each month!
I was able to make this new salsa in my newĀ Nutri Ninja Ā® | Ninja Ā® Blender DUOā¢. Check it out…

I’m not going to lie – I’m obsessed with the new Ninja. It is AMAZING!! It’s like they took all the best features from every blender/food processor out there and put them all into one. This kitchen tool can do everything! You can see from the picture below that it has so many options and does a great job chopping, blending, mixing and anything else you can imagine.
If you know someone who loves mixing and blending, this makes a great gift idea!
Just add all your ingredients...
And blend!!

Making this for sure! Also, how many jars will this make for me? Thanks!
Lil' Luna
Depends on the size of jar, but for this size it fills just under 2. š
Russell Fox
how long will the salsa keep?
Lil' Luna
Unfortunately, I’m not really sure. We’ve never had it last longer than a week. Sorry! :/

Pls what is’Rotel’? I don’t live in the USA so I have no idea what it is & have never heard of it before.
Lil' Luna
Rotel is diced tomatoes with zesty green chiles. It adds great flavor!! Here is a link if you’d like to check it out..http://www.ro-tel.com/ You can find it with canned tomatoes in the grocery store. Hope that helps!!
Lucian Hodoboc
Interesting recipe. I’ll have to try this sometime. Does it taste as good as salsa bought from the store?
Lil' Luna
Oh, so much better!! I hope you will! Let me know what you think š
Christine Cole
What is Rotel?
and why don’t you use real onions, not artificial powder?
Why not real homegrown tomatoes, not everything out of a can!
Lil' Luna
Rotel is tomatoes mixed with green chiles. I personally don’t like onions, that is why I add the onion powder, but you could totally add onions & fresh tomatoes. I use tomatoes, but sometimes I need to hurry or it’s for convenience.
Jodie Neumeier
How many fresh tomatoes would you use for this recipe? I have a bag of fresh garden Roma tomatoes. For the jar, do you have to seal it like you do when you can? Just curious. New at this
Kristyn Merkley
You would need just a few larger ones, if you like more, you could add more. Just depends on you š
