I adore salsa. I could eat it every single day. Really. I’m so happy that I found this easy-to-make salsa recipe because it’s always a big hit with everyone who has tried it. My kids ask me to make this homemade salsa recipe all the time (often I’m one step ahead of them because I make this recipe as often as I can).
Have you ever known someone that won’t give out their most popular recipes? I hadn’t until I met the friend that served this salsa at all her parties and get-togethers. I complimented her on this salsa all the time and I’d asked her for the recipe a couple of times, but had never gotten the recipe from her. I didn’t think much about it. We were all very busy with young children and many commitments. Then my husband got a new assignment. My friend had us over for dinner just before we moved. She served this salsa one last time and then…. handed me the recipe. That’s when I realized that she treasured her salsa recipe and had purposefully not given it to me before.
Well, I adore this recipe so much that I think it needs to be shared. It’s so very easy to make. It’s a semi-homemade easy-to-make salsa recipe. It’s a great way to work more servings of vegetables into your diet. And a great way to sneak more vegetables into your children’s diets.
I almost always serve this salsa recipe when we entertain. My oldest daughter asked for it at her graduation party two years ago. It was a must-have item on her party menu. If you need another appetizer to serve at your party, you should try Fried Okra.

I’m a mom of 3, a veteran and military spouse. I’ve moved into 20+ homes all around the world. My passion is helping busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them.
I love salsa too and put it on almost everything (eggs, shredded chicken, in an avocado). I just hate all the cutting. Never thought to substitute Rotel tomatoes in! Thanks for the tip.
Enjoy, Corinne! I’m making another batch this afternoon. 🙂
Since I am on a diet salsa is my best friend. I never thought to use Rotel Tomatoes – that is genius. It certainly does make it easy. Thank you!!!!
I adore salsa anytime, anywhere! I’m all about making life easier (but still taste good). 🙂
This really is an easy recipe! I could eat salsa every day, just like you. I don’t guess I every really thought of it as getting my vegetables. One reason to eat more of it!
We adore salsa too! And after a trip to Mexico – I need to step up my game. Thanks for the recipe – I will be making it this weekend!
I have never tried a salsa that has bell peppers in it, but it looks really good! Like you, I love salsa and could serve it with every meal. I’m excited to try this recipe!
This is our favorite salsa for snacking and for adding to Mexican or Tex-Mex dishes. Enjoy, Andrea.
Warning, warning! It’s very addictive, Andrea! 🙂
