Fresh All Natural Roasted Garlic Salsa Recipe

Fresh all natural salsa prepared with roasted garlic, garden fresh tomatoes, and other natural ingredients is a delicious, healthy treat that takes no time to prepare!

Ingredients

• 3-4 medium tomatoes
• 1 medium jalapeño
• 4 medium garlic cloves
• 1/4 medium onion
• 1/2 cup cilantro
• 1 small lime (to be squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

NOTE: This fresh, all natural roasted garlic salsa recipe will be a lot easier to prepare with a food processor! It's still simple to make without one, you just have to chop everything up by hand to the consistency you want.

1. Sauté whole garlic cloves in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the outside of the cloves start to get well done. Remove from heat.
   
   You can actually roast the garlic cloves in the oven if you prefer, just remember to add olive oil when you mix in the food processor.
   
   
2. Place the tomatoes in the food processor.
   
   For smooth, well blended salsa, pulse the food processor several times until the tomatoes are starting to get smooth. Skip this step for a chunkier salsa.
   
   
3. Add the garlic and olive oil, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, honey, and lime juice to the tomatoes in the food processor and pulse until you reach the desired consistency.

Serve this fresh, all natural roasted garlic salsa with all natural chips as a Mexican style appetizer or use as a condiment on your favorite foods and Mexican dishes!
