Fresh and Flavorful: An Easy Recipe for Healthy Homemade Salsa

The best Homemade Salsa

Healthy, easy, and delicious fresh chunky salsa really is the best! Perfect to serve with chips, over-grilled chicken, pork, or on a burger...Taco Tuesday isn't the same without salsa!

fresh Salsa all summer long

Homegrown tomatoes make the most amazing salsa all summer long. It is an inexpensive and wholesome snack made with garden veggies my entire family can't get enough of. Your mouth will be doing the happy dance!

How long will the salsa last?

At my house about 1 maybe two days! Seriously they just devour it. Store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container up to 5 days! Don't freeze fresh salsa the flavor and color will be lost, best fresh.

Ingredients

6 cups Roma tomatoes cored and chopped
2 cups bell peppers finely chopped
1 cup green onions finely sliced
2 tbsp garlic minced
3/4 cups of cilantro finely chopped (large bunch or two small bunches)
1/4 cup lime juice
2-3 tsp sea salt
1/2 jalapeno pepper finely seeded and chopped (adjust to your taste preference)

Directions

1. Wash and rinse veggies. My favorite Fruit & Veggie Wash

2. Chop tomatoes and bell peppers

3. Finely chop cilantro and jalapeno

4. Thinly slice green onions with tops

5. Combine everything in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Serve with your favorite chips, over burger, pork or chicken. Enjoy!

Notes

Roma or San Marzano tomatoes make great fresh salsa but any fresh ripe tomatoes will work. (more water and thinner skin won't change the taste just the texture a bit)

Short on time put everything in a blender or food processor for a quick whiz without the chopping.

Prefer more zing in your salsa add more jalapeno or a few seeds (they are zippy)!

If jalapenos irritate your skin wear gloves when cutting.

About Me

Hi, I’m Jenn! 👋 I’m so glad you’re here!

For over 20 years, I’ve been on a journey to create a gluten-free and low-tox lifestyle that doesn’t feel restrictive, complicated, or expensive. My mission is to help busy women like you transition to a healthier home and diet—without the stress.

Why I Do This

My journey started when I realized that many of the foods and products I was using every day were impacting my health. I have gluten sensitivity, and several family members also follow a gluten-free diet. But I didn’t want to feel like I was missing out on delicious food or spending hours researching safe products. So, I set out to simplify the process!

As I started reading labels and swapping out processed foods, skincare, and cleaning products for safer, healthier alternatives, I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. It became clear that small, intentional swaps make a big impact—and I want to help you do the same.
