Our partners at Let's Dish show you how to make fresh salsa

Chris Koetke, host of the LiveWell Network show, Let’s Dish, is whipping up some fresh, homemade salsa that is super easy to make.

If you love salsa, having some in the fridge at all times is a must.  But buying salsa from the store can add up, so make your own.  It’s quick, easy, and inexpensive.

Recipe for Fresh Salsa:

Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 0 minutes

Serves:  5 cups

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 Serrano chile (up to 2 if you really want some heat), chopped

4 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped

¼ cup water

Juice of 2 limes

1 cup diced red onions

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon cumin

½ bunch cilantro, chopped

1. In a blender, combine garlic, Serrano chile, 1 tomato, water and lime juice.  Puree until smooth.
2. Add remaining tomatoes, red onion, salt, oregano, and cumin.  Pulse the blender just until the ingredients are roughly chopped.
3. Add cilantro and pulse just a few times so that the salsa remains chunky.  Store salsa in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Now serve this salsa alongside some tortilla chips for a great, homemade snack. You can find more reports like this one at our partners website www.livewellnetwork.com .
