In this post:
Roasted tomato salsa
Oven roasting works magic on this roasted tomato salsa. The tomatoes have deep, robust flavor, lightly sweet caramelized onion, jalapeño, and garlic.
Finished with a squeeze of lime and handful of cilantro, this is your classic salsa but better.
Salsa verde
Whenever I make this salsa verde, the house smells incredible.
With roasted tomatillos, onions, jalapeños, and garlic, the only thing that could be better than the smell is the taste!
This salsa gets guaranteed compliments every time.
Black bean corn avocado salsa
While it’s labeled as black bean corn avocado salad, this summery dish works equally well as a savory salsa.
Made with black beans, corn, bell pepper, and avocado, it’s finished in a garlicky lime dressing. Great for scooping with tortilla chips.
Peach salsa with black beans
Peach salsa with black beans is the perfect dip for summer with its savory and sweet combination. Juicy peaches are seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and cayenne for a little kick of heat.
Black beans add protein, which makes this fruit salsa even more satisfying.
Pineapple salsa
When the weather is hot and sticky, cool and crisp pineapple salsa is a great way to break the heat.
Dotted with onion, garlic, and cilantro, this fresh salsa comes together in just 10 minutes.
Watermelon salsa
Take a break from the ordinary with this vibrant watermelon salsa.
Watermelon is wonderfully hydrating, while jalapeños and Tajin add a zing of heat. Finished with a squeeze of lime, this fruity dip is always a crowd-pleaser.
Cranberry salsa
Salsa is often associated with summer, but this cranberry salsa is ideal for fall.
When cranberries are in season, I love to make this raw cranberry salsa with orange juice and zest.
Finished with fresh or pickled jalapeños, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice, it has a spicy kick to balance the sweet and tangy flavors.
Pickle salsa
If you’re a dill pickle lover, you need to try this pickle salsa (also known as pickle de gallo).
This briny salsa is a step outside the ordinary with crunchy dill pickles, red bell pepper, onions, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.
Not just for tortilla chips, it’s also a tasty sandwich topping for burgers and veggie dogs.
