To make a classic salsa, you’ll need a few fresh ingredients:

🧅 Onion (1 small)
🌶️ Jalapeño (1, seeds removed for less heat)
🌿 Fresh Cilantro (a handful)

Here’s a simple guide to making salsa using your Thermomix:

Step 1: Prepare your ingredients. Chop the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño into quarters. Peel the garlic cloves.

Customizing Your Salsa 🌿

One of the best things about homemade salsa is how easily you can tweak it to suit your taste. Here are some ideas:

🔥 For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add an extra chili.
🍍 For a sweet twist, add some chopped pineapple or mango.
🌽 For a bit of crunch, stir in some fresh corn kernels after blending.

FAQ

Q2: How long will homemade salsa last?
Your salsa should keep in the fridge for about 5 days when stored in an airtight container.

Q3: Can I freeze the salsa?
Yes, you can! However, the texture might change slightly upon thawing, so it’s best used fresh.

Q4: What other appliances can I use if I don’t have a Thermomix?
A food processor or a blender can be used as an alternative, but you may need to adjust the blending time to achieve your desired consistency.
