Homemade salsa?
Anybody here like to make their own salsa? I love making fresh salsa, especially when you can make (and eat) it in a mass amount for the price compared to what you pay for it pre-made. If you do, do you have any signature additions? I find a full lime + garlic powder + touch of cumin never fails.

YES. I love making salsa. Happens about every week. It's a good way to get in more good veggies and whatnot, yanno?
I like putting sweet corn in. If you can grill some and then put it in, that's tops. But canned stuff works well. Love it.
Honestly, my salsa varies from week to week. I try to use stuff that's on it's way out, or leftovers...

ya the cumin is esential for mexican flavor. i also like to add 2 fresh jalapenos (either finely chopped or completely pulverised in a blender)
and i love the massive salsa pig out that i get to have after i make it.

^ hell yes...but I also like to let mine sit overnight so the ingredients blend better...the cilantro/lime are hard to taste right off the bat over the tomatoes and the jalapenos only get hotter as time goes by.

Word...I didn't think of the corn in the salsa, but I am about to make some homemade black bean chili w/corn!

ah yes, you must wait until the salsa is fully matured
pasta sauce is the same way, something about the acidity of the tomatoes makes everything all happy the 2nd day

Man, that's another thing I love making.
Tonight though, I'm going meat + potatoes. Got a new york strip marinading (going on 24hrs) and will be making some fresh mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Fuck Carl's Jr.

I love making my own salsa...Can't stand corn in it for some reason though...
I usually go with a take on the basic Salsa Roja, with tomitillos, garlic, fresh cliantro, white onion, lemon/lime juice, and smallllllllll dalup of honey...
