Fresh Jalapeño Salsa – Zesty, Spicy & Addictively Good

Ingredients

4–5 fresh jalapeños (stems removed, keep seeds for more heat)

1 small onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves

1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil

Optional: 1 small tomatillo or 1/2 avocado for added creaminess

Directions

In a hot skillet or over a flame, char the jalapeños, garlic, and onion until blistered and slightly softened.

Add to a blender with lime juice, cilantro, salt, and oil. Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky.

Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. Chill before serving if desired.
