Simply Salsa Recipe…
I tried this salsa at my friend Kristee’s house, and it was so yummy. She passed along the recipe, and I truly can’t believe how easy it is! Give it a try and see what you think…
What You’ll Need:
- 2 Cans Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes
- 1 Can Original Ro-Tel {Hot Ro-Tel can be substituted}
- 1 Clove of Garlic, crushed
- 3 Green Onions, chopped
- Handful of Cilantro {more to taste}
- 1/2 Small White or Yellow Onion, chopped
What You’ll Do:
Combine all ingredients {excluding the Ro-Tel} in a food processor or blender.
Pulse until well blended, then transfer to a bowl.
Add in Ro-Tel…
Stir… and voila ~ you’re done!
Wait… you’re not done yet,
you need some chips to go along with that!
Okay… now you’re done. Enjoy!
This would even make a great gift in a jar!

YUM! I made this last night and we LOVED it! Thank you so much!
That looks so good! I love salsa, I'm going to try this one out!
My recipe is very similar. I also add 2 tomatillos to mine. It does not add heat, just more flavor. Thanks for linking to TMTT.
I have never made salsa before, but I think now is the time! Looks great!
It’s like Mexican restaurant salsa. Looks yummy! Thanks!
This is an AMAZING recipe..make it all the time thank you
This sounds fabulous & easy, gonna try it! So few inexpensive ingredients, may have to keep some Ro-Tel a staple. : ) My only suggestion since I too love fresh salsa… try adding some lime. Gives salsa a yummy zing & keeps in fresher longer.

What is Ro-Tel? I have never heard of it.
Hi Margie!
Ro-Tel is a brand of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies added. If you can’t find Ro-Tel, you can just use a 10 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies.

I make my own salsa with a can chili ready diced tomatoes and a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with lime juice & cilantro and Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with habaneros ( hot!!) OR Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies. I add chopped garlic ( I used 2 cloves). The Ro-Tel are the 10 oz size and the chili ready is a 14.5 oz can.
I love this website, since I ve been unemployed, its nice to find ways to save money
Thanks Kristee.
Love your site! Today I have made the Freezer Jam and the Salsa!
I am wondering…can you freezer the Salsa as you would the Jam?
I’m wondering if this recipe can be canned. How would I go about doing that? Would the ingredients need to be boiled before going into the jars for sterilization? Or would the hot water bath do that? Please help! I love this recipe and would like to make it in bulk and can, but I’m a beginner-canner and am not sure. Thanks!
Gwen ~ I have never tried freezing this salsa… if you do, let me know how it turns out!

Thank you sooo much for posting this recipe. I have made it several times and tweek it a little more each time. It is so good! I love your site, and the recipe section is by far my favorite, thanks for all you do!
By the way I double the Salsa recipe and I do freeze it. It works just fine!!
Hi! I make a similar recipe, except I like mine a little chunky. So I put everything in a pot and simmer it on the stove for a while. It gives it a really good flavor and softens up the onions. Then I just let it cool, put it in jars, and put in the fridge.
P.s. I love your site Heidi!
Ooh ~ that sounds yummy, Chrissy!
