Sexy Spicy Salsa

One of my favorite times of year is Salsa Season! 

Check out the recipe below for Sexy Spicy Salsa...

With the abundance of fresh tomatoes and a variety of peppers at the local farmers market it was easy to get excited for salsa season. I chatted with the farmers and picked up the yummiest & freshest ingredients and got to work! 

I have found that if I blend each ingredient by itself (tomatoes, onion) or at least in smaller bunches it works best.  When I tried to blend it all together, I was left with large chunks that were missed, or overly pureed veggies.

Ingredients

• 4 cups tomatoes
• 4 cups bell peppers
• 3 hot peppers (I used jalapenos)
• 2 cups onion
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 small can tomato paste
• Salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder to taste

Directions
Blend as many tomatoes as you need to get to the 4 cups, then move to a large bowl, do the same with the peppers and onion. Chop the cilantro and stir it into the salsa with the tomato paste and seasonings.

Who doesn’t want a delicious guacamole to go with fresh salsa? Come back next week for a Groovy Guacamole recipe.
