Restaurant Blender Salsa Recipe (Video)

Watch our step by step video!

Our go to date night stop is Three Amigos, a local Mexican restaurant. Like most Mexican restaurants, they bring out hot chips and homemade salsa as soon as you sit down at the table. Our blender salsa recipe tastes just like the salsa from Three Amigos and is SO easy to customize to your liking.

• Canned tomatoes: you can use crushed, diced or whole tomatoes—they’re all going to end up blended so it doesn’t matter. I like using ROTEL which is a blend of canned tomatoes and green chilies.
• Onion
• Jalapeno: use 1-2 jalapeno peppers. If you like spicy salsa, leave the seeds in. If you prefer more of a mild/medium salsa remove the seeds. I use 1 jalapeno with seeds when I make blender salsa.
• Lime Juice: fresh or bottled
• Cilantro: stems removed
• Cumin
• Salt
• Sugar: you can omit this if you want, but I highly suggest leaving it in. It balances out the salsa beautifully.

Notes

Leftover salsa can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator up to 7 days.

*Leaving the jalapeno seeds in the salsa will create a spicy salsa. For a mild salsa, scoop the seeds out before adding the peppers to the blender. Always be careful when cutting peppers to wash hands and avoid touching your face.
