Spencer's Salsa Recipe
Spencer's Salsa
You sit down at your favorite "Mexican-themed" restaurant and order drinks. While the server is away filling your glass with ice and beverage of choice, another server drops off the chips and salsa (very distinctive restaurant salsa they obviously make fresh).
My uncle Spencer thinks he has nailed it with this recipe (& I agree!), you be the judge.
Ingredients:
28 oz diced tomatos (We use the store brand, it is only tomato right?)
½ Med Sweet or White onion
1 tsp Chopped or minced Garlic (Again we use the store-bought minced garlic)
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 cup of Cilantro (tightly packed)
¼ cup pickled (or fresh seeded) Jelapenos
1 lime (for juice)
Chop the onion, measure the garlic and salt, then add them to the tomatoes in your favorite electric blender. Next add the juice from your lime. Finally add the chopped cilantro but be sure to leave it atop the rest of the ingredients to be mixed as they spin about in agony. I ran it on the Smoothie setting for about 20 seconds.
Tomatoes
Onion & Salt
Jalapeño & Garlic
Cilantro
After running the "Smoothie" operation for 20 seconds, yummy.
Next time I will pre-chop the cilantro adding it later in the mixing process. Plus I'll add more Garlic! I must admit, it's not as good as we had on the beach this weekend but that might be in my mind and I like how special that is.
The Sea air makes everything much better, right?
