Restaurant Style Salsa

This is just for Carrie! Salsa that doesn't have big chunks, but is blended well so that you can just get a little flavor on your chip instead of all those chunks. :) But, don't worry, there's still plenty of substance if you use your chip to scoop some up too. 
The secret to the flavor in this recipe is a French (ha ha!) spice blend - Fines Herbes. I know it's available in the Spice Islands brand, but I'm not sure which other brands.

Restaurant Style Salsa
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 small can stewed tomatoes
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. Fines Herbes
1/4 tsp. oregano flakes
1 tsp. ground cumin OR fresh cilantro (to taste)
salt, optional

Combine all together in a bowl. If you're using cilantro, you don't have to chop it first and you can add the stems too. Blend to desired consistency. An immersion blender works great for this recipe.

  1. woot woot! I can't wait to try it. And just for the record, it's just that I have such refined taste buds I don't NEED a large scoop to taste all the flavor. ;)
