    ThermoFun - Salsa Recipe

    Jump to recipe

    Salsa

    Having a Thermomix means we can make our salsas and dips additive and preservative free.  We enjoy this salsa with corn chips or served on nachos.  If you like it with lots of heat I would definitely add a red chilli – but this is optional depending on how you like it.  If you prefer a smoother consistency just mix it for a little longer in the final step.  This salsa freezes well too.

    This salsa also teams up beautifully with my taco seasoning to add to chicken or beef mince for burritos or tacos.

      made this on the weekend to go with taco salad. I did not add these: pinch cayenne pepper, chilli or hot sauce...since we had children included. We all enjoyed it! Thx for the recipe :)

      I made this a couple of times (once with tinned tomatoes, once with cherry tomatoes) and loved it! Came back to make it again today and the recipe has gone. :(

      Really good! I was hesitant with the Worcestershire sauce, thought it might be a bit out of place but it was a very nice salsa! Made my classic chicken enchiladas only to realize I was out of salsa. Thermie to the rescue! I like the simplicity of this and the fact that it didn't need a bunch of fresh veggies ( like capsicum and chili's) that I didn't have on hand. Canned tomatoes I always have, used a red onion instead of brown, and my dinner was saved! Thanks for the recipe!
