Homemade Salsa Using a PURE Juicer

Yield: 2.5 cups or 20 oz

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes (including clean-up)

In the mood for some fresh, creamy salsa with a kick? The PURE Juicer had you covered. With its half-horsepower motor, the PURE stage one grinder ground up these salsa ingredients quickly and with ease, leaving a texture that is ready to be scooped by your favorite chip or veggie sticks.

We used a #8 PURE Juicer grid, but if you prefer a chunkier salsa, we recommend a #12.

Ingredients:

2 large tomatoes
1 small red onion
4 green onions
1/4 avocado
1 large jalapeño
2 limes, pressed
5 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper
¼ bunch of parsley
¼ bunch of cilantro

Pro Tips: Top with chopped mango and tomatoes! If you’re not planning to eat the salsa right away, leave the avocado out of the mix and serve it on the side (to avoid discoloration).

For the original recipe using roasted vegetables (it’s delicious), check out Kimmie Bee and her blog.
