The Best Blender Salsa Recipe
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.

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!
Sounds yummy!
Sounds so good!! =)
Pinned!
I add red and yellow bell pepper, canned green chili, and corn. No sugar needed it’s very sweet with these ingredients!
Do you blend the peppers and corn in or just toss it?
There is nothing better than going to a good Mexican restaurant and eating all of the chips and salsa in sight. Fresh homemade salsa is the best and I especially like making a big batch at home. What is it about chips and salsa that are so good and addicting? I especially love eating salsa with some whole-grain chips for a healthy snack. This salsa is perfect and honestly the BEST that I have tried. I have been making it for a while now, but I think I have perfected it and made it the very best. And with a few ingredients, in 5 minutes of your time, you will be having all of the chips and salsa that your
So happy you love it Debra! It’s one of our favorites!
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!
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!
