Here is my super quick and delicious Homemade Spicy Salsa recipe using homegrown tomatoes.  Everyone will love this no cooking salsa recipe which is easy to make in minutes! It is spicy, tangy and full of great flavors. This salsa is fresh, healthy and contains no artificial flavoring or preservatives.  You can eat it immediately, but I highly recommend you allow this salsa to sit for an hour and let the flavors meld together. Enjoy this flavourful salsa with hot tortillas chips, veggies or with any Mexican dish. You can refrigerate fresh salsa or use the canning procedure to store it longer.

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cup – Ripe Tomatoes, roughly diced (You can also use 1 can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes)
  • 1 ½ cup – Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup – Green Bell Pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1-2 – Jalapeno, halved and deseeded
  • 1 small – White Onion, diced
  • 1- Garlic Clove (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon – Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp – Smoked Cayenne Pepper Powder
  • ½ teaspoon – Cumin Powder
  • Pinch of Sugar (to balance the acidity, Optional)
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
