EASY BLENDER SALSA

My family begs me to make this during football season, with or without company coming over. It's so easy to make, that I don't mind. Use caution with the jalapeno pepper, however. I recommend using kitchen or disposable gloves. These amounts are the flavor my family likes, but you can use less or more jalapeno pepper depending on your tastes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but frozen or canned corn can also be used.
  • Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky flavor to the salsa.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Different types of tomatoes will give your salsa a more complex flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have a low water content.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper. Remove the seeds and ribs of the pepper before chopping it to control the heat level.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro and basil add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salsa.
  • Chill the salsa before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Corn blender salsa is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is also a healthy and refreshing snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and flavorful salsa that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give corn blender salsa a try.
