Salsas are not just for chips – you can use them to add a pop of flavor to so many things like burritos, tacos, wraps, burrito bowls, salads, over a steak or chicken breast – really it’s just another sauce with great flavor. Since our cherry tomato plants have been booming – I decided to take a classic salsa recipe and use some up. This recipe for Cherry Tomato Salsa is so good – you are definitely going to want to have this in your back pocket.
This style of salsa really needs a good food processer. You can use an immersion blender (but it’s harder to gauge how far it’s gone). Since this isn’t a cooked salsa, the vegetables are not able to breakdown quite as much with just a knife. Also the time saved with the food processer is always a win.
A word to the wise – when you first remove this from this from the processer bowl, it is going to appear almost foamy. Don’t fret! This is just because it is very aerated. The bubbles will subside after you let it chill in the refrigerator for a bit.
The last time I made this, I put them on some ground beef and pinto bean tacos and it was delicious. I know I started this post off saying salsa isn’t just for chips – but seriously – this is some great chips and dip salsa for real. If you end up with some left after your meal, save it for that late night snack.
