I have been on a salsa making kick for the past few months, after learning how easy it is to make. I thought salsa was something that had to be made over the stove in sealed jars like I saw a neighbor doing once, and as it turns out it’s incredibly easy to make fresh salsa in your kitchen.
You can vary the ingredients to suit your tastes and the kids like it too! Best part, I feel all healthy eating fresh veggies (imagine plucking fresh veggies from your garden to whip up a bowl of salsa this summer!) even if I happen to be scooping it up onto a salty tortilla chip (you can be a bit more healthy choosing baked chips).
This is my go-to recipe for BBQs and visitors who stop by unannounced this summer, because it’s really quick to make!
Easy, Fresh, Healthy Salsa!

Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh on-the-vine tomatoes (you can use canned but I prefer fresh),
- ½ red onion
- ½ jalapeno
- ½ yellow pepper
- 1 stalk celery
- lime juice and salt to taste
Instructions
- Yes, that's it! Simply dice all ingredients (I use a Tupperware Chop 'n Prep but you can do it by hand) and add together in a bowl. Squeeze lime juice on top and add a dash of salt and you're done!
Notes
You can also add in habanero peppers, garlic or corn to suit your taste. Because it's so fresh, it's amazing on grilled chicken too!

I also never realized how easy it actually was to make at home, but have actively made my own (especially in the summer with fresh produce) when I realized how easy it was!
