Everyone should have an easy salsa recipe in their back pocket that they can whip out for a last-minute gathering or party invitation. This one is super quick and easy, and has extra virgin olive oil for a little extra healthy fat and gloss, and to make it a bit more keto-friendly. You can add other seasonings to it to change things up, or swap out the jalapeños for chipotle or other peppers, but this makes for a great base recipe to start with. Or if you want to go a little fancier, you can try roasting the peppers before adding them to your salsa. The possibilities are endless!
Instant Keto Salsa Recipe
Ingredients:
- One 28-oz can diced tomatoes drained (retaining fluid separately)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 fresh jalapenos, sliced (or to taste)
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 oz cojita cheese, crumbled (*optional)
Directions:
- Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime juice, salt, jalapenos and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Use pulse to gently blend. If you would like a more liquid consistency, add some of the reserved fluid from the tomatoes. If you prefer a chunkier consistency, don’t process at all. Simply chop the veggies to your desired consistency and stir ingredients together. Top with crumbled cojita cheese and serve. Makes around 4 cups.
