Anyone have a good Mild Salsa recipe?

[Kaido]

I'm looking for a good mild salsa recipe. Whatcha got?

 

[altonb1]

Salsa seasoning puch from walmart in the produce section (Super Walmart, that is) with a can of diced tomatoes OR a couple of ROMA tomatoes and fresh onion chopped.

Seriously--one of those quick chopper devices with the seasoning mix and you're all set.

I'll give that a try this week, thanks!

this is how i make it:

- tomato
- white onion
- cilantro
- lemon
- crab meat (i usually use fake crab meat)

slice up as many tomatoes as you want to make salsa. i usually start with 2 good sized tomatoes.
dice up half the onion. you can add less if you're not a huge onion fan.
dice up the crab meat. i try to get the one that looks like flakes, not the long tube ones, but if you use those, just dice them up.
squeeze half a lemon on top of the mixture, more for taste.
clean cilantro, and rip off the leaves. i don't even bother chopping it up at this point, i just rip and throw it in.
mix. if you like salt, go ahead and add some but you don't need a lot.

my aunt, who gave me this recipe, also makes a smaller batch with avocado.

if you need kick, just add those little jalopenos you can buy and chop some of those up and add as many as you want. i never add any kind of pepper, because i can't stand it.

Half some Romas (6 or so)
Quarter a sweet onion

Brush them with a mix of olive oil, garlic, and black pepper - roast under your broiler

Broil some garlic if you are so inclined as well.

Take some jalapenos (just a couple of you are so inclined), remove the seeds, all of that white pith stuff, and rinse under water.

When the tomatoes and onions are roasted, chop roughly, mix in some garlic, the peppers, add some salt, black pepper, cumin, cilantro (very important) to taste.

A do it a bit different since I like it spicy, but if it is worth anything a variation of this recipe gave me second place in a salsa competition beating out other people and restaurants (damn professional chef beat me with some mango salsa stuff).

. .. on other thing, if you don't want to use actual tomatoes, get a can of whole tomatoes and roughly chop them. Buy diced if you are real lazy.

Ingredients:

6 roma tomatoes, I usually pull out the middle "core" part.
1 sweet yellow onion
1 jalapeno
A handfull of fresh cilatro leaves
2 fresh crushed garlic cloves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
1/2 a fresh squeezed lime worth of juice
1 teaspoon white vinegar

-------------------

Cut up and de-seed the jalapeno
Cut up onion
Pulse both of these and the crushed garlic in a food processor for a couple seconds

Add in everything else and pulse until desired texture is reached.

Chill. Serve.

This will make a chunkier, dryer salsa (sort of a pico de gayo). You can simmer it on the stove over medium heat for about 20 minutes and let it cool overnight for a bit smoother, saucier style.

I opened a jar of mango salsa this afternoon for the playoff games and it was fantastic. Goldwaters Mohave Mango Salsa, someone gave me a jar of this in a gift basket a year or so ago and I never opened it until today but I was really impressed. Pair that up with a decent medium salsa (two dipping trays) and some chips and you have a sure hit IMO. :thumbsup:

harry and david's mango salsa is ridiculously good also.

Salsa de tomates verdes:
1 lb. tomatillos, husks removed
serrano chiles, 1 for mild, 2-3 for medium, 4+ for hot (of course it all depends on the luck of the draw)
2-3 cloves garlic
1/2 small white onion, chopped
about 1/3 cup chopped cilantro - a small handful
salt

Boil the tomatillos and chiles for a good 7-10 minutes, until the tomatillos have changed color. Puree them in a blender along with the garlic. Add the onion, cilantro, and salt. Chill, then enjoy.

To make it a bit milder, add some finely diced avocado. The flavors blend really well, and the avocado takes the spice down a notch.

Another great variation is to add a bit of toasted and ground pumpkin seed (as you would with pipian). It really changes the flavor and texture of the salsa.

Salsa Mexicana:
6 roma tomatoes, cores + seeds removed
serrano chiles, more or less same formula as with the salsa verde
1/2 small white onion
1/3 cup chopped cilantro - again, about a handful
juice of 1 lime
salt

Chop everything as absolutely finely as you possibly can without turning it to mush (especially the tomatoes). The finer, the better - the texture is better and it's more impressive. If I'm really set on making a great batch, I'll spend about 45 minutes chopping. Once you've mixed all the ingredients, let it sit for about an hour for all the flavors to fully mix.

Yeah! There's nothing like putting some fish into your salsa!

My wife sold Tupperware for a bit, and they have a quick salsa recipe. Realistically, though, I think the only thing she used was the can of tomatoes and some chopped onions with the seasoning. Good stuff, and is made in about 5 mins. if you use Rotella tomatoes or whatever the brand is (with the chiles in it) it becomes a nice HOT salsa.

Here's the Tupperware recipe:

Simply Salsa

Ingredients
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp. Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend

Optional:
2-3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro

Peel and slice onion into 4 pieces; place in Quick Chef with blade, cover and turn handle until onion is roughly chopped. Peel and smash two garlic cloves and add to Quick Chef. Add remaining ingredients; cover and turn handle until desired consistency. Remove blade and place salsa in Snack Cups or a bowl for serving. Serve with chips or as a topping for tacos!
