Mexican Salsa Recipes – Easy Salsa Recipes – HelloFresh

Prepare the mix: First, finely chop your tomatoes, onion, and garlic, as well as the chillies or jalapenos if you plan on including them. Add the seasonings to the chopped vegetables and mix well.

For best results, use a food processor or blender for all ingredients. Once mixed, taste. Add more seasoning if necessary until the desired flavour is achieved.

Enjoy your salsa: Once your fresh salsa is ready, you can either use it straight away or refrigerate it for later. Salsa is an incredibly versatile dish that can be eaten as a dip or as a sauce for other recipes such as nachos, tacos and quesadillas.

Salsa verde: One of the most traditional salsa recipes in Mexico, salsa verde uses a green fruit known as a tomatillo (also known as husk tomatoes) as its base. The tomatillos are cooked or roasted, then blended with green chilli peppers or jalapenos, onion, garlic and coriander. The result is a spicy, green salsa that can be served with any Mexican dish.

Salsa roja: While this red salsa looks very similar to salsa taquera, it uses fresh serrano chilli peppers as its base. The chilli base is mixed with red tomatoes, chopped onion, coriander and seasonings to create a spicy salsa dip. This variety of salsa is a particular favourite when paired with tortilla chips.

Salsa de aguacate: This avocado-based salsa is very similar to guacamole but is thinner in consistency compared to guacamole. This Mexican salsa recipe combines avocado, tomato, garlic and chilli peppers, then mixes them with water for a softer yet delicious salsa sauce.
