How to Make A Healthy Restaurant-Style Salsa
Are you wondering how to make a healthy restaurant-style salsa recipe? Well, mine is simple and it’s the best. When your nephew calls from South Carolina for the recipe, you know you’re doing something right.
Another beautiful thing about this is that it only takes a food processor or blender, a cutting board, and a knife.

For me, restaurant-style is a salsa that is thick with some tomato chunks in it. Being able to grab a nice amount of salsa on your chip is the ticket for me. This recipe won’t disappoint.
This recipe is mild by my standards and if you want hot, you have to add more jalapeno peppers. The beauty of this recipe is that once you make the base, you can add more peppers, onions, and garlic. It’s totally up to you. Below there are more ideas of ingredients you can add to this recipe.
Deseed a Tomato
Once you process all the ingredients, you need to let it sit at room temperature for an hour. This allows all the flavors to blend together.
By day two the flavors are more complex but it also seems to be a bit watery as the water from the tomatoes continues to release. Give it a quick stir and enjoy.
If you still have anything left over by day three it’s time to toss it.
Food Processors/Blenders
This homemade restaurant-style salsa is full of healthy ingredients. Tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, peppers, green onions, healthy oil, and lime juice. All good for you foods.
This recipe is also very customizable. You can add more tomatoes if you want it chunkier. You can also add the following for different flavors
- cut corn
- diced mango or pineapple
- green pepper
- other peppers for more heat
- diced avocado
