    Mine is extremely hot. I use:

    Chili de Arbol (3 oz)
    1 White Onion
    5-6 garlic cloves

    Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spray with Pam, take the stems off the chilis put on cookie sheet, peel and slice the onion about 1/2 inch thick and put on top of the chilis, peel the garlic cloves and add them also. Bake in a 350 oven for 6-7 minutes until chilis are dark reddish brown. Remove from oven.

    While baking put 2 cups of water and 2 Tbsp. salt in a blender. Use the foil to slide the chilis, onions and garlic into the blender. Blend on high until liquid. Wait five minutes and blend again.

    Do not eat immediately, it will be extremely sharp & needs to mellow for a day or two.

    YUM!

    Tomatoes
    White onion
    Jalapeno
    Cilantro
    Lime juice
    Salt
    Minced garlic

    You could add black beans and/or corn to try something different.

    Mine is pretty much this!!
    I add a little vinegar if I am in the mood for more zippy...and occasionally when I wanna be fancy or make it a meal I add white corn, black beans, red pepper and avocado.

    My favorite investment was the Tupperware Quick Chef. Throw in the ingredients just quartered (tomatoes and onions) and it comes out in salsa form.

    For those of you who make homemade salsa, what is your secret ingredient?? not necessarily secret, but what makes yours so good?

    just curious :smile: I love making salsa, but feel like something is missing!
    I must have fresh, chopped cilantro - that really makes it all come together.
    As for other ingredients - fresh veggies like diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, various peppers, corn and mango.

    I grill tomatoes (A LOT) , garlic, jalapenos, onions, and bell peppers. Then throw them in the food proccessor with adobe chilis, green chilis, cilantro, a tiny bit vineger, and salt. I don't ever measure each ingredient. I go based on taste. The end result is a light crisp salsa with just enough heat. It tastes so fresh! :bigsmile:
