Gluten Free Salsa

You can’t beat a fresh gluten free salsa recipe and this homemade tomato salsa can be ready in five minutes! It only needs 6 ingredients and is perfect as a chip dip, for smothering on tacos or enjoying loaded on a plate of gluten free nachos.

I love eating fresh, homemade salsa and this gluten free salsa recipe is the perfect thing to throw together when you have friends coming over.

You only need 6 ingredients for this easy tomato salsa recipe and it’s made in a food processor in a matter of seconds.

Load it onto your favourite Mexican dishes: gluten free tacos or quesadillas, in gluten free tortilla wraps, or piled on top of a gluten free chilli con carne or plate of nachos.

And of course, my favourite way to eat this gluten free salsa is by scooping it up with gluten free tortilla chips! It’s even better when served alongside my 4-ingredient guacamole.

Ingredients

You only need six simple ingredients to make this Mexican salsa recipe:

• Plum Tomatoes: Any kind of fresh tomatoes will work. If making a cherry tomato salsa, you’ll need a good handful or two instead.
• Green Chilli: Traditionally this homemade salsa would be made with a fresh jalapeño chilli but these are hard to find in UK supermarkets. I use a fresh green chilli, but jarred jalapeño slices would be a good alternative too.
• Red Onion: You can use a brown onion if you prefer.
• Garlic Cloves
• Fresh Lime Juice
• Fresh Coriander (or cilantro in the US)
• Sea Salt Flakes (I know that’s technically 7 ingredients but I don’t think salt counts!)

This recipe is naturally gluten free, dairy free and vegan – so would be a great option if you have guests coming round with multiple allergies or intolerances.

How to make gluten free salsa

Making this easy homemade salsa recipe is so quick and easy, it doesn’t even need any step-by-step photos!

It’s just a case of roughly chopping some of the larger ingredients then adding everything to a food processor.

You want to make sure you ‘pulse’ the salsa, rather than blitz it to a puree. Unless of course, you want more of a sauce consistency.

A good, fresh salsa should look like it has been very finely chopped. You can do this by hand with a knife if you prefer or don’t have a food processor.
