HOMEMADE BLENDER SALSA
Salsa is probably one of my favorite condiments; perfect for dipping chips (obvi), crockpot salsa chicken for meal prep, turkey taco skillets, over eggs, baked potatoes…you get the point. We lurve salsa at casa de crews.
What is the difference between homemade blender salsa and pico de gallo?
This easy homemade salsa recipe uses fresh garlic and cilantro, fresh red onion, and jalapeno for kick, with canned tomatoes. While I love using fresh tomatoes for salsa, that’s more of a pico de gallo, than a quick blender salsa. You’ll want to use 1-can of fire roasted tomatoes and 1-can of diced tomatoes with chiles (think: Ro*TEL) to hold up in a blender.
Fresh pico de gallo is also a salsa, but it’s a fresh tomato salsa, best enjoyed immediately after making (or within the same day). Homemade blender salsa can me prepared and enjoyed throughout the week. The longer homemade blender salsa chills in the refrigerator, the more flavor. I like to prep in 5-minutes or less, store in a mason jar and use as I need.
How to make homemade blender salsa
- To a blender (900-watts or higher) add all salsa ingredients. Pulse several times to combine all ingredients.
- Add salt, pepper and/or lime juice, to taste.
- Chill at least one hour.
- Can be stored up to 7 days in a mason jar, refrigerated.
That is it! Simple, clean, sugar-free and delicious! It tastes pretty close to any restaurant salsa you’d order out, but you made it at home.
This easy salsa recipe is whole30, paleo, low in carbs, zero sugar, pretty much the perfect condiment! This salsa is great for any party: football, cinco, game night with friends, etc.
Use any blender you like with 900-watts or more. This is my blender. Any high powered blender will work. If you have a food processor, but not a blender, you can use instead and the recipe will turn out the same.
This salsa recipe will make close to 3-cups of salsa. It comes in at 3 net carbs per serving (1/4 cup), it’s whole30, paleo…honestly, just the perfect easy condiment we all need.

Yum!!! I love easy recipes like this.
Looks great! Love that it can be made ahead of time too
Looks good! I’m usually a fan of chunkier salsa but I love this kind as well.
I can never ever resist chips and salsa. This blender salsa looks so easy and delicious. We are having this at our next game day for sure 🙂
Paired with your quesadillas, and I think we both win. Thanks for stopping by!
This looks exactly like salsa you’d get at your favorite Mexican restaurant, but better! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Oh yum! I have to come clean here that I really don’t like chunky salsas (the ones more like pico than salsa), so I don’t usually make salsas at home, but this on the other hand – I need to make this!!
