  • 1.25 lbs tomatoes on the vine
  • 1 red pepper
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled

Steps

  1. Pre-heat your grill to medium-high.
  2. Coat the tomatoes, red pepper, jalapeno peppers, garlic cloves and the cut sides of the onion and limes with a thin layer of olive oil.
  3. Add the coated vegetables directly to your grill. Keep a pair of tongs and a rimmed baking sheet nearby so you can remove the vegetables to the baking sheet as they finish cooking.
  4. The tomatoes are done when the skin has started to blister and split. The onion and limes should be slightly softened and have visible grill marks on the cut sides. 
  5. Once cool enough to handle, use your fingers to peel and discard the skin from the red pepper and the jalapeno peppers, also remove and discard the stems.
  6. Discard the seeds from the red pepper and if you want less spice, you can discard the seeds from the jalapeno pepper as well. 
  7. Remove the tomatoes from their vines and discard the vines.
  8. Cut the roots/stem off the onion.
  9. Squeeze and collect the juice from the limes.
  10. Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of your food processor with the blade attachment.
  11. Blend/pulse until the desired consistency is achieved.
  12. Transfer the salsa to a clean bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  13. Serve the salsa with Food Should Taste Good Multigrain Tortilla Chips & enjoy!
