You’ll want to dive into a batch of this Mexican restaurant style salsa recipe once you’ve taken your first bite. It’s that good. Homemade salsa is super easy to make, and very forgiving for different palates. We tend to serve a “hot” and “mild” version when hosting cause most guests can’t handle the heat we bring!
HOMEMADE SALSA NOTES:
Pick the Ro*tel Mild if you like a milder salsa. Pick the Ro*tel Hot if you prefer some heat.
Use rotel to make Rotel Dip!
This homemade salsa tastes best after it’s been marinating in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
This can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance.
Omit the cilantro if you’re a hater. We get it. We really do. We don’t use it in our 4 ingredient guacamole either.
We super heart garlic here, so we tend to add a lot. A LOT. So start small and keep adding until your satisfied.
