20 amazing salsa recipes to try

Nothing says summer like salsa, right? Except maybe homemade ice cream. Or any ice cream, for that matter. This is where (since I’m a blogger) I wax lyrical about how amazing salsa is and how it’s even better than ice cream and how you should want to make some right this minute! But I’m not gonna lie, salsa’s not better than ice cream. Not much is, honestly. But hey, you might still want to make salsa, right? Here are 20 homemade salsa recipes that look pretty darn delicious.

***Remember, as with all roundups, if you want to pin an individual recipe please click through to the original post to do so. You’re welcome to pin the collage below to remember where to find all these ideas in one place – thanks!***

20 fantastic summer salsa recipes

1. Check out this gorgeous fresh tomato salsa recipe from Kelly the Kitchen Kop:

7. Southwestern salsa with corn, black beans, and pineapple from Julia’s Album:

9. So this next salsa, a pear and pomegranate version, is probably actually more suited to the winter months when pomegranates are readily available, but I couldn’t resist including it because it’s so pretty. But don’t worry, you can find a killer mango salsa on the same site to tide you over until pomegranates make it back into the store. Both from Gimme Some Oven.

10. This fresh fruit salsa is naturally sweet and delicious – and the homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips add an extra kick of flavor:

I'm Autumn, a mom of five who loves ice cream, Masterpiece Theatre, and clothes that hide the fact that I eat so much ice cream. When I was 18 I got a job at a craft store and told everyone (regularly) how much I hated crafts. Well, things change! Read More…
