Best Homemade Salsa Recipe – This 5 minute beautiful, vibrant and colorful fresh salsa with all the raw veggies is very healthy, vegan and gluten-free. This is a must-have homemade restaurant-style Salsa and is one of my most frequently made recipes for snacks in the evenings! This homemade salsa recipe is very quick and very easy to make. It’s perfect served with tortilla chips or as a topping over your favorite Mexican food, like tacos, burritos. This is a best party food and everyone likes it.

This salsa is made with fresh ingredients, Fresh tomatoes make the best salsa, especially when you use nicely ripened in season tomatoes. I prefer Roma tomatoes for this salsa as they are little sweet and not as sour as the big ones. It’s best eaten right after you make it. If you refrigerate, the salsa should last about 5 days or so.

You just need chopped up fresh tomatoes, red bell pepper, onions, jalapeno, cilantro, some lime juice, and seasonings. If you like a salsa with less heat, remove the seeds from the Jalapeno and ancho chile peppers. But you can always set aside some of the seeds—if the salsa isn’t hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
