This perfectly scoopable Lazy Day Salsa is a classic tomato salsa that is whipped up in a flash (no chopping required). It is speckled with bits of onion, garlic, and cilantro for extra freshness. This salsa is so easy you can make it in 10 minutes (it actually takes me about 5). The best part is, you can add it to leftover chicken, burgers, casseroles and voila you have the perfect dinner.
I love to add this recipe to a few pounds of chicken in the crockpot and have the best ever salsa chicken.
It is so good that we made it twice this weekend and then made one more batch Monday as a thank you gift.
We eat so much salsa in our house that we could just about live on it. Funny thing is, I never even tried salsa until I moved to Arizona.
Boy was that a mistake! As soon as I had my first bite I was hooked.
Now I can not imagine life without it, especially homemade salsa. We pretty much serve salsa at every get-together, barbecue, pot luck and game night. It is a household staple. So much flavor in such a small package.
I even love salsa on omelets, salads, potatoes and tossed into anything I can think of! Yes, I am an official southwestern gal. LOL
You know if you think about it... Salsa and Italian red sauce start off the same way; tomatoes, onions and garlic. So, maybe it was destiny.
As much as we love homemade salsa, some days there is just not enough time (or energy) to do all the chopping.
So, I turned to my well-stocked cantry. Perfect for these kinds of days. Tomatoes picked at the peak of ripeness and canned to lock in the nutrients just hours after picking.
Not to mention utterly convenient! I look preparing quick and easy meals and often turn to my pantry for help.
Fire-roasted tomatoes, diced jalapeno, onion, and garlic come together to create a magnificent base for this salsa, but the addition of fresh cilantro and lime juice really takes it over the top.
