Simple Salsa

Chips and salsa is my favorite go-to snack. I generally buy my salsa, but this recipe I came across was way too easy, fast, and tasty to pass up.

This salsa is perfect with pita chips, tortilla chips, or as a fun addition to your daily sandwich.

Read on for this healthy, fast,and  simple salsa recipe!

Recipe

1/2 orange
2 small tomatoes
1/4 onion 
2 sprigs cilantro
1 T. chipotle Tabasco sauce
Salt

Tip: In order to easily dice your ingredients, keep your fingers over the  upper end of the knife (away from the handle). Lift the lower end of the blade up and down quickly, creating a rocking motion. 


Why: I'm always on the lookout for healthy snacks, because I often get hungry before dinner. This super fast, easy recipe is the perfect way to tide me over.

Mess-ups and Missteps: None this time around, thankfully!


Shout-out: Thanks to Delish.com for this recipe! I modified it a bit, but the original is still good.

Enjoy!

KEEP ON COOKING!

  1. Kelsey! This recipe looks rockin'! And thank you for the knife tip! My grandmother would cry every time she would see me dice vegetables because she'd think I would lose a finger haha!

    I don't like large chunks of tomatoes in my salsa. Could I throw them in the blender? Would I peel them first before doing so? This looks delicious!

    1. Oh no! Knives are nothing to be scared of as long as they're used properly and are kept sharp (yes, you read that right! Dull knives are actually more likely to nick you than sharp knives, go figure).
      If you don't like large tomato chunks, I would actually suggest a food processor, if you have one (if not, a blender will work fine).
      With regard to peeling the tomatoes first, you can leave the skin on them; they will process quite easily.
