Notes
5 Net Carbs Per Serving
Drain any excess liquid from the tomatoes, especially if they are real juicy tomatoes. You want a thick and moist texture so you can dip a chip into it, not too wet so that what your are dipping into it doesn’t fall apart while dipping.
You can also add fresh garlic if you like that taste. It certainly goes well with the other ingredients.
If you don’t like the taste of lime then it’s not a necessary ingredient.
When you use fresh hot peppers, be careful when you cut them so as not to touch your eyes after touching the hot peppers. Thoroughly wash your hands after touching the peppers, or better yet use disposable gloves when chopping the peppers. Be careful
If you have a Vitamix you can also use that to make your salsa. Just throw all of the ingredients in at once and start. In a minute or two it’s done.
