Easy "fresh" Salsa

"I asked for this recipe at a party 20 years ago, and I've been making it ever since! I always feel a little guilty when people ask for the recipe, because it's so easy!!! The addition of the cilantro makes it great, and fresh tasting. Don't use regular stewed tomatoes; it just won't taste nearly as good."

  1. This was GOOD!! So simple! I used 1 can of regular stewed tomatoes and 1 can of rotel, I didn't drain. I couldn't find the mexican stewed tomatoes. It was SO GOOD!! Thanks so much for an easy, yummy recipe that I will make over and over again.
     
  2. We live in Johannesburg, South Africa, and though available, salsa is fairly expensive. My daughter LOVES salsa, so I have been trying recipes from Zaar. This has been our favourite so far. My husband says "Old El Paso, move over. :) It is full of flavour, and has a wonderful, runny consistency, which we prefer over the really chunky. Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  3. I'm glad I waited a day to review because the flavor is much better the second day. The cilantro does make it taste very fresh and I also squeezed 1/4 of a lime into the salsa which gave it a nice bright flavor. Salsa in less than 5 minutes? It can be done!
     
  4. I left ths jalepenos totally out of this and used mild Rotel. It still came out too spicy for me. My DH liked it, but he eats spicier foods than I can stomach.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a retired teacher, now, whose children have grown up, and abandoned me! ? Rather than cooking huge portions, I'm on the hunt for cooking-for-one ideas, or meals that can be tweaked, to make eating leftovers more varied and exciting. I have a pressure cooker, which I love, and I've been making yogurt, eggs, ribs, etc, in that. I still love to cook, and read (and, pin) recipes; but, my focus has changed, from when I first joined this site, in 2007.
