The BEST Spicy Lime Salsa made with fresh, simple ingredients right in your blender for the perfect flavor boost to any healthy meal or serve as a delicious salsa with chips!
Ok so I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Â This is literally the best salsa EVER!
I love it because it contains everything you’d ever want in a salsa…tomatoes, jalapenos, green chilis, red onion, cilantro and even a dash of cumin {just to name a few ingredients} It’s super quick to blend together and is easily jarred for future use. Oh and trust me, you’ll want to make batches and batches of this stuff!It’s like crack.I broke this up nutritionally by 1/2 cups since lets be honest people, who really sits down to eat salsa and only eats only 2 or 3 tablespoons?? Yeah no one in their right mind, except maybe Kate Moss.
The great thing is this salsa is fat-free and only 40 calories for an entire 1/2 cup! I chose to use whole wheat tortilla chips, but baked ones would be a great choice too. This would taste fabulous on quesadillas, taco salads, pretty much any Mexican entree you can think of and I can guarantee you it will be a hit at your next party….Cinco de Mayo anyone??
Umm so writing this post has given me a serious craving for some margaritas and/or other alcoholic beverages. And did I mention it feels like 70 degrees outside?? Good thing I have Happy Hour planned in T-minus 7 hours, sure hope the day goes by fast!
Cheers friends!

This sounds delicious! If I dont have a food processor would a blender work too?
Yes it sure would! 🙂
Just made this salsa! Its AWESOME!!!
Just tried this and loved it. I added lime zest to et a little more of that yummy lime taste. Thanks for posting!
This is almost exactly how I make my salsa too! It’s to die for – I love it!! It’s always a hit when I serve it too. Your photos are lovely!
i’m a salsa FIEND! but sadly, a lot of those ingredients don’t exist here in italy. i need to grow a cilantro plant! mmm!
I’ve had this bookmarked for awhile and finally made it today. So simple and so GOOD!!! I can’t stop eating it! Can’t wait to share it with friends! Thanks!
This salsa looks fabulous! I could eat the entire batch. Yum!
I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, but that’s a gorgeous salsa! It looks flavorful and, with the cumin, I’m sure it’s smokey too. Seeing this salsa makes me long for summer vegetable gardening and salsa making. I’m saving this recipe!
I eat salsa by the cupful. I love the stuff. This looks like a wonderfully delightful recipe. If only the chips could be healthier.
I have developed a new obsession for salsa within the past week.. and I’ve been tempted to make my own, but couldn’t find a recipe that sounded like something I’d like. This looks YUM and I will most definitely be trying! Thanks!
