Best Salsa Recipes

Salsa recipes are perfect for appetizers and I love to make a variety of them as I host parties for game day, movie night, and even get-togethers regularly. These are always a big hit with my guests. These work well as toppings for tacos and meat too. Let me share the

Best Salsa Recipes

Here we go

1. Mango Salsa

This salsa is tangy, sweet, and savory. It works as an appetizer with tortilla chips and also as a topping for meat recipes. It requires only 5 ingredients and is so easy to make.

While choosing a mango, look for a mango that is soft, ripe, and not mushy. I like to add avocado to this salsa as it adds creaminess. This is a versatile recipe so you can experiment.

Sometimes I like to add some heat in my salsa recipe so I add spicy peppers. You can serve this salsa with grilled salmon, fish tacos or baked salmon. Use it as a topping or crostini or bruschetta.

This is a quick recipe and takes only 10 minutes to make. The ingredients include mango, avocado, lime juice, cilantro and red onion.

2. Avocado Salsa

The texture of this salsa is like chunky salsa and has a flavor like guacamole. You can use it as a dip with tortilla chips or use it as a topping on chicken or tacos.

It is a versatile recipe so you can add jalapeno or grilled corn depending on your choice. It takes only 15 minutes to make. The ingredients include Roma tomatoes, lime juice, onion, jalapenos, avocados, and black pepper.

You can also use it with wraps or tortilla soup. The recipe is packed with nutrients. You can keep this salsa in an airtight container in the fridge and it will be good for a couple of days.

3. Salsa Verde

This version is superior to the store-bought version, it’s fresh and not too salty. I used tomatillos for this recipe. I found them easily in the store. Instead of using these raw I roasted them as raw tomatillos were sour.

You can add avocados to the recipe and it will be the best avocado salsa verde. It takes 20 minutes to make which includes 10 minutes of pep time and 10 minutes of cooking time.

You need a blender or a food processor, a baking sheet, and tongs for this recipe. The ingredients include white onion, salt, tomatillos, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapenos.

Once you make the recipe, it will look thin, keep it in the fridge for a couple of hours and it will thicken up.

4. Corn Salsa

I love to enjoy this with quesadillas or burritos. It tastes great with tacos too. You can also serve it for lunch as a salad recipe. I always prefer fresh corn for this recipe as it sweet and flavorful.

I used raw corn kernels and added avocados as it adds creaminess. This is a quick recipe and takes only 20 minutes to make.

The ingredients include raw corn kernels, cilantro, red onion, cumin, lime juice, avocado, white wine vinegar, and chili powder. For best results, before serving let it marinate for 20 minutes, it will taste a lot better.

You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and it will be good for up to 4 days.

5. Homemade Salsa

This is a restaurant-styled salsa served with tortilla chips or you can use it as a topping over tacos and burritos. It is perfect for parties and the Super Bowl.

The recipe is neither too garlicky nor oniony. I always prefer fresh tomatoes and with fresh ones, you don’t need to add sugar but if you are using canned ones then you need to add sugar.

You need a blender or a food processor for this salsa. It is a quick 5-minute recipe. The ingredients include Roma tomatoes, cilantro, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, cumin, and green onions.

If you want a strong onion flavor then you can replace green onion with red onion. Let it chill before you serve as it will taste better and it will be even more delicious if you serve it the next day.

Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and it will be good for up to a week.

6. Pico De Gallo

It is a low-calorie Mexican salsa with a chunky texture. The key to make the best Pico de Gallo is to use ripe tomatoes. I prefer Roma tomatoes and before you chp them remove the seeds.

If you have access to cherry tomatoes then go for it. To make the salsa flavorful make sure you chop the ingredients finely. It is one of the most versatile salsa recipes. You can add red bell pepper or even avocado.

It takes only 15 minutes to make. The ingredients include white onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, ripe tomatoes and sea salt.

Let the salsa rest for at least 15 minutes before you serve them. It will taste better.

7. Chunky Salsa

This is a sweet and spicy salsa. It is best served with tortilla chips. I love to make it on a game day or a movie night. I like spicy salsa but if you want to make it mild then remove jalapeno.

For me, semi-smooth consistency works best but you can change it if you want. You need either a blender or a food processor. To balance the flavor I add sugar. You can make this salsa ahead of time and while serving it will taste even better.

It takes only 10 minutes to make the recipe. The ingredients include plum tomatoes, sugar, white onion, lime juice, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and garlic.

You can keep the leftover in a container with a lid and it will be good for a week, you can also freeze it for up to 9 months.
