How to Make Salsa

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: serrano

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Serrano offers similar heat with fewer calories, while green bell pepper is milder and more affordable.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: spinach

Parsley provides a fresh taste, while spinach adds nutrients at a lower cost.

Wash and dry the tomatoes.

Slice the tomatoes in half and arrange them cut side down in a baking dish.

Place the tomatoes under the broiler and broil for about 8 to 10 minutes until they look roasted.

Add all the ingredients into a blender, starting with the wet ingredients at the bottom for easier blending.

Puree the mixture until it reaches a consistent texture with some flecks of cilantro.

Transfer the salsa into a serving dish and it's ready to serve.
