Let me tell you why salsa is a great thing to have in your fridge at all times! For starters, when you don’t feel like having dinner, you can pop open a bag of tortilla chips and have them with your own homemade salsa, not some canned salsa from the store. When you need a snack to enjoy while watching TV, you can do the same. If you’re hosting a party, you can put your salsa in nifty little jars and get ready to receive compliments from all of your guests.
Need I say more? This salsa recipe will elevate the classic snack that is chips and salsa. You can also add it to salads and wraps. It’s so good, you’ll want to drink it! With a shot of vodka, it just might be something like a Bloody Mary.

How can you make salsa spicier?
If you like your salsa on the hotter side, and I don’t mean temperature, there are a few thing you can add. The easiest way to spice it up would be with jalapeño seeds and stems. Add them to the blender before pulsing. If that’s not spicy enough for you, add some cayenne powder or flakes.
How can you make salsa smokier?
Do you find yourself enjoying that hint of smoke, but can’t quite figure out where it’s coming from? It’s the cumin! Add more cumin to your salsa to make it smokier.
How can you make salsa sweeter?
Those who like their salsa on the sweeter side can easily adjust the recipe to make it so. Simply add more honey! Be careful not to overdo it and turn your salsa into a sweet dessert. Another tablespoon of honey will satisfy your sweet tooth.
