recipe reviews for:

Jill's Salsa

“This quick and easy salsa can be made in just a few minutes with a food processor. Green onions instead of white onions give it a nice, mellow flavor to balance the kick of the jalapenos. This recipe also works well with 2-3 habanero peppers instead of the jalapenos. But be sure to remove the seeds and membrane from the habaneros first! Grab a bag of tortilla chips, dip, eat, and enjoy!”

oh my goodness....this is SO delicious! I made a few changes based on what I have on hand, and it turned out fabulous. I used fresh grape tomates (about 15-20), 1 tsp sugar, salt and pepper, and 1/4 white onion instead of green onion. This is a keeper!!

This was so simple to make and had a great flavor. It can be forgiving too. I have even made it with 1015 onions and canned jalepenos with good results.

Love this recipe! I opted to omit the oil and replace it with some salt and a pinch of sugar. I also used only half of a jalapeno to keep it mild. This is very similar to my favorite Mexican restaurant's salsa.

This was very yummy, but I needed to make a lot more for a big party. So I blended 4 cans of stewed tomatoes (not drained), chopped 1 whole white onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, juice of 1 lime, 2 teaspoons of cumin, one- 4 oz can of green chilies and 1 bunch of fresh cilantro leaves chopped. Since I was making it for the first time, I was hesitant to add any spice to it. But it was VERY yummy. I think it taste like the salsa from ON THE BORDER without the kick. Next time, I will add a can of hot rotel tomatoes and blend that in with the other flavors since we know how hot that will make the it in the end. ENJOY!

Incredible recipe!! I only changed the tomatoes into crushed tomatoes since I am not a big fan of tomatoes. My mother in law even kept raving about the salsa! LOVE it, and it tastes better chilled for a little while so the flavors can mesh!

Delicious! This is some really good salsa! I cut the recipe in half and used a 14.5 oz. can of fire roasted tomatoes. I did cut back on the cilatro a bit and upped the amount of garlic to 2 tsp. of minced garlic from the jar. I added 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. of sugar. I put this into my mini food processor and let it go.... I put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to let the flavors blend. Perfect with warm tortilla chips!

I love this recipe. I actually didn't use a food processor, but chopped everything really finely.It was delicious! The only other changes I made were I added two cloves of garlic, a med size vidalia onion instead of the green onion, and no olive oil. It was till awesome.

Very good, but it wasn't spicy enough. I am going to leave the seeds in the jalapeno peppers and see what happens! I also used yellow onions instead of green. Very easy to make though!!!!

Excellent salsa. I used 1 can diced tomatoes and 1 can rotel, added 1/2 chopped white onion and only had one jalapeño so also used a small habanero. Forgot about the oil and didn't really need it. Won't buy store salsa again - too easy!

This was REALLY yummy. I halved this recipe, so in case we didn't like it we didn't have excess. I should have made the whole batch. I omitted the cilantro and used fresh parsley instead. (Noone in this house likes cilantro.) I used a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and added in a half can of chilies. I didn't have any peppers, so I used a couple generous shakes of Tabasco and I also added a shake of Worchestershire sauce. Very, very good. I'll for sure make this again.
