Authentic Salsa

Submitted by anonymous

"So simple, all ingredients placed in a blender. No vinegar or lime juice! Received recipe from a Mexican friend who successfully sold this salsa in jugs. Great & inexpensive to bring to a party! FYI: Costco sells a huge bag of tortilla chips for $3. I've been adding a little more than 1/4 tspn of minced garlic"

I was really excited to try this recipe... I LOVE a good hot salsa. It just tasted like something was missing... maybe lime juice. Also, it looked really good until I added the cilantro to the blender.. it then turned into a murky brown color. I would suggest to finely chop the cilantro and stir it in after the salsa has blended for a better appearance. I think that this is a good basic recipe, but I just need to tweak ir for my tastes. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
