I’m not joking…it’s THE BEST!
How to make salsa in the blender.
Chips and salsa have to be one of our family’s top ten favorite appetizers. Heck, there has been a couple nights where I’ve managed to make it a main meal! I know some of you are thinking…hey Corey, it’s much easier to just crack open a jar of salsa, than to make our own.
Ok, this might have been true, but this recipe changes it all! Blender salsas are the best because you do minimal cutting, and let the blender do all the work.
BOOM! You have fresh salsa to impress your guests with! And this truly is THE BEST Blender Salsa Recipe out there. It might even be the best salsa recipe ever!

Very close to my go to salsa recipe. I add minced ginger (I know, just try it), a little vinegar, and cilantro. Love the stuff!
Corey says
Sounds yummy!

I add red and yellow bell pepper, canned green chili, and corn. No sugar needed it’s very sweet with these ingredients!
Melanie batin says
Do you blend the peppers and corn in or just toss it?
Melanie says
I didn’t have any garlic salt but I added garlic powder and salt (2:1). Also, I didn’t add jalapeno because my boyfriend has some stomach issues. I cooked the onion on medium fire with the garlic powder because I’m having headaches when I eat raw onion (true story). The recipe turned out perfect. I didn’t need to adjust the seasoning after tasting it. It’s a great substitute for the commercial salsa. In the future, I may try a chunky version with some tomato and pepper cubes. It’s definitely a keeper!
Corey says
So glad you loved it Melanie 🙂

This is the best quick salsa. My family eats it quicker than I can put it in the fridge.
Thanks for the recipe!
Jolie says
This is a hit! I’ve made this salsa at least a dozen times and it disappears fast! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Lance says
Thank you for this recipe!! This will be my go-to from now on. I like my salsa with a kick, so instead of jalapeno, i added a habanero….great hot sauce!!!
Niki says
Can you used seeded and peeled fresh tomotaes instead?
Corey says
I have only used the canned ones for this recipe Niki
