I love salsa. I prefer medium-hot but make both medium-hot and insane-hot batches, since my boyfriend loves spicy salsa.

Do you like pico style or restaurant style? Restaurant styles tends to be more saucy. I like both, but prefer restaurant style (which can easily be done by adding tomato sauce and blending).

I don't use a recipe, since I throw together salsa from ingredients on hand. I did find a recipe that is pretty close to what I do though.


* 8 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
* 2 cups tomato juice
* 1/3 cup sweet onion, very finely diced
* 3 green onions, sliced thin
* 1 garlic clove, minced very fine or run through a press
* 1/3 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, minced
* 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
* 1-2 teaspoon salt, to taste
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
* 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
* 2 limes, juice of, to taste (or more)
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 pinch sugar

1. Mix all ingredients in large nonreactive bowl. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours. Taste, and readjust seasoning if needed.
2. Enjoy!

I don't use sugar or red wine vinegar. I blend the ingredients then simmer for a while so it's saucy and not just chunky.

Chips are easy. Cut corn tortillas into triangles and fry them in oil (put salt on the chips while they are hot).
