Ex- boyfriends Salsa

I’m not going to lie to y’all, this salsa came from my sister's boyfriend's dad.. it’s not mine lol, but it’s soo good and I started putting it on EVERYTHING from eggs, steak, chicken, rice, and more. It is an easy way to elevate your snack game or add a burst of flavor to any dish. With just a few fresh ingredients and a blender or food processor, you can whip up a batch of this vibrant salsa that beats anything you can buy at the store. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tomato, cut into quarters

  • 1-2 Serrano peppers (adjust depending on spice preference)

  • 1/2 white onion, cut into chunks

  • 3 green onions, roughly chopped

  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled

  • Avocado oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 bunch of cilantro

Instructions:

Prepare and Roast the Ingredients:

  • Heat a drizzle of avocado oil in a pan over medium heat.

  • Add the quartered tomato, Serrano peppers, white onion, green onions and garlic  to the pan.

  • Cover and let them cook until they are soft and slightly charred, stirring occasionally. This will take about 10-15 minutes you will probably have to take the garlic out first because it’ll cook faster.

Blend the Ingredients:

  • Once the vegetables are roasted and softened, transfer them to a blender or food processor.

  • Add the juice of one lime, a drizzle of avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Add the bunch of cilantro 

Blend to Desired Consistency:

  • Pulse or blend the ingredients until they reach your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunkier salsa, while others like it smoother. Adjust by pulsing more or less.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl. You can enjoy it immediately or refrigerate it for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Besos, Mari
