Chunky Homemade Salsa
Last updated on January 10th, 2026
When the weather is warm…it can only mean one thing! It’s time to start eating ALL the fresh ingredients right from the garden! This Homemade Salsa was unbelievably flavorful, and a chunky salsa at that?! YUM! My favorite kind! The flavors from the lime, the zest, the tomato, garlic, the RED onion, jalapeño! I mean this salsa boasted some serious freshness! I love it when the flavor just punches you in the face! This salsa definitely lived up to the challenge, because it was a total flavor punch! My husband and I couldn’t stop eating it! It is definitely spicy, but we are big fans of that! The forehead sweat, nose starts running a little bit – the type of hot where you’re doing that “hhuuahhh hoooo” sound? Yeah, we love that.
