- Rinse the cilantro until all grit is removed. Spin dry in salad spinner or dab with paper towels to remove excess water.
- Remove the leaves from the cilantro, discarding stems.
- Add onion (I usually halve the half), pepper, cilantro leaves to food processor.
- For chunky salsa do a rough chop at this point.
- Add remaining ingredients.

4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up! This was a really good salsa - healthy, full of flavour, and a little bit different to the usual stuff. I don't care for chunky salsa either so this was ideal for me. To my mind it loses half a star on two counts - it's a little runnier than I would have liked (I like my salsa to stay on my chips) and also the "half bunch cilantro" meant very little to me as, in the UK at least, bunches come in a variety of sizes. In the end I used about a 1/4 cup of leaves, but to be honest it probably could have taken a bit more. This is a great recipe that I really enjoyed and will definitely make again. It is so quick and easy that even the most beginner of chefs could make this and still impress their family and friends no end!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
