How To Make Salsa?
- To make salsa, place diced tomatoes with juice in a food processor with chopped onion, garlic, lime, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Pulse food processor until you have the consistency you prefer. I love to leave mine a little chunky.
- You can adjust the heat/spiciness according to your taste buds.
Can You Freeze Salsa?
Did you know that you can freeze salsa? Yes, salsa can be frozen to keep it longer, for up to 6 months. To freeze your salsa, cook it on the stovetop in a saucepan to thicken. Cool salsa completely.
Place your cooked salsa in freezer containers leaving space for expansion. I prefer to use smaller containers so that all the salsa gets eaten up and I don’t waste salsa.
When you are ready to serve your salsa, thaw salsa and drain the excess liquid that is formed.
