Fresh Raw Hot Salsa
(You will need 6 medium tomatoes total)
Put into blender or VitaMix:
1 medium yellow onion (cut in half)
5-6 cloves garlic
1/4 to 1/2 small carrot (about 2-3 inches long)
5 medium tomatoes (or 6-8 small), cut in half
2 tsp Celtic salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp RAW honey (never use grade A, ever ever)
3-4 jalapeno or 2-3 serrano peppers (serranos are hotter), sliced in half, stems cut off (more if you like it hot!)
handful (about 1/2 to 1 cup) cilantro
Juice of 2 lemons or limes (flavor will be different - try both to see which one you like better)
PULSE, don't blend, on and off until everything is reduced to tiny chunks.
Then add 2 more tomatoes and pulse again a few times, to add tomato chunks.
NOTE: Don't blend constantly. You don't want it totally liquified. Pulsing it makes it chunky.
Variation: Add 1 (peeled and pitted) mango at the very end, then pulse again for just a couple of seconds so it still has chunks
My husband is Hispanic and he prefers my salsa to that of the local Tex-Mex taco places, because it's so fresh.
Enjoy!
