Spicy Salsa Recipe
Anyone who knows me knows: I LOVEEEEEE spice. Like too much. It’s kind of a problem.
In all seriousness though, I really do love spicy food – and I adore spicy salsas, like today’s spicy salsa recipe. I love using salsa mixes over quinoa dishes, overtop of proteins (like chicken), or just paired with some good ol’ tortilla chips. To me, salsa can be used to add a punch of flavour to pretty much any dish out there.
I used to go out and buy salsa in the jar, but a few years ago I decided to just make my own, and well – I loved it. I realized that while from-the-jar salsa was fine, homemade spicy salsa was where it was really at. And, it was really easy to make so – why not, right? It’s especially easy to make when you have this 4-in-1 Vegetable Chopper. I love it and highly recommend it.
Since then, I’ve found that every time I make homemade salsa for a party – it’s one of (if not THE) first things to be gobbled up.
One dish that my husband insists on pairing my Spicy Chunky Salsa Recipe with is nachos. I swear I have never met anyone who loves nachos as my husband does. Nachos are his favourite junk food treat, and I would venture to say he has them about once a week! Whenever he makes them at home we always make this spicy salsa (and you guys – the combo is pretty dang delicious!)

Spicy Salsa Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 Roma tomatoes
- 1 small purple onion
- 1/2 jalapeño
- 1 red chilli pepper
- Cilantro
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 - 1 whole lemon juice
- Green Onion
Instructions
- Chop up tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, chilli pepper, and garlic. I like my tomatoes and onions to be chopped into larger cubes, but you can chop them as large / small as you like. Chop garlic, jalapeano, and chilli pepper more finely - no one likes to get a huge piece of spicy pepper in one bite!
- Add chopped vegetables into a bowl
- Squeeze 1/2 - 1 full lemon over your salsa mix. Taste to see if you want more lemon.
- Chop cilantro and add into mixture.
- Before serving, cut up a bit of green onion and add to the top of the salsa.
Notes
- This salsa is quite spicy so if you want it to be more mild then just add less jalapeño and red chilli pepper to your salsa
It looks delicious and so healthy! Thanks for sharing.
