Fresh Garden Salsa Recipe: Your Vegan Family

Garden fresh salsa with homemade vegan Refried Black Beans is a match made in heaven! This salsa will take you 15 minutes to make, and then is best if you let it rest 30 to let the flavors blend. Well worth the wait, as it is infinitely more delicious as anything from the store! 

It's delicious served with our Vegan Refried Black Beans, another 2-in-1 meal recipe. 

It's a simple chop-mix-eat recipe. Feel free to alter the ingredient ratios to your taste. Add more garlic or jalapeño or salt. 

Fresh Garden Salsa has a fair amount of liquid in it so serve it up with a slotted spoon.

Fresh Garden Salsa Recipe

Prep

• 15 minutes prep
• Serves 8
• Suggested equipment: knife, bowl.

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely chopped onions
• 2+ jalapeños, chopped
• 1 tsp chopped garlic
• ½ cup packed, chopped cilantro leaves
• 2 cups chopped tomatoes
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp salt
• Green onions to garnish

Instructions

1. Chop all ingredients. Place in a bowl and stir.
2. Let sit for 30 minutes before serving so the flavors blend. Stir occasionally. The citrus will mellow the sharp flavors of the garlic.

Chef's Notes 

If you love your salsa spicier, add extra jalapeño to taste. 

Serve with a slotted spoon to strain out the citrus juices.
