Easy Homemade Jalapeno Salsa With Cilantro

I have been trying to stay away from certain processed foods as much as possible as they tend to have large amounts of added sodium and sugar which we all know is not good for our Health or Waistline.

The typical store bought Salsa has about 250 Mg of Sodium for only 2 Tablespoons which is not much Salsa when you are dipping.

If you use store bought Salsa and scoop like me you can ingest your daily recommended amount of Sodium with one little snack....not good take 5 minutes and make your own.

Since my summer garden usually produces lots of veggies I am able to go outside and pick my own tomatoes right off the vine. Usually also a handful of Jalapeno Peppers and Fresh Cilantro.

If you don't have a Vegetable Garden no worries, just head over to the produce aisle of your favorite supermarket or local farmers market to pick up the Fresh Veggies you will need.

No time this week to make your own homemade salsa just grab a jar of Frontera's Jalapeno Cilantro Salsa from Amazon...it's not homemade but it is a really good option when you are short on time.

It is really fun to plant your own Salsa Garden and be able to pick your own Ingredients. If you don't have one think about planting one.

Even if you don't have a yard you can get a couple of flower pots and make a little container garden on a small patio or even on a windowsill.

For some reason Food tastes so much better when the Ingredients were grown by you and and harvested by you, I cannot explain it.

Homemade salsa should keep for up to 7 days, if kept continuously refrigerated in an air tight container.

You can absolutely freeze your homemade salsa! Freezing salsa is the perfect way to preserve the fresh taste. By freezing it you can enjoy it for up to 4 months! Fresh homemade jalapeño salsa is a sweet, earthy, and spicy, I love having fresh salsa in my fridge all the time.

Any store bought air tight plastic containers should freeze fine. Just make sure you leave some head room for contents to expand.
