Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients until well combined.
- Serve immediately, or chilled with chips, crackers or veggies for dipping.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients. Make sure all of your produce is fresh and the tomatoes are ripe for the best results.
- Chill before serving. This salsa pesto is ready to eat immediately but I like to put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
- Add basil. If you love the basil flavor, consider adding freshly chopped basil or swapping the cilantro to make it more of a salsa basil pesto.
- Drain the tomatoes. This helps reduce liquid resulting in a nice thick dip.
- Storing tip. Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This recipe can’t be frozen because there will be a lot of excess moisture when thawed and the veggies will take on a mushy texture.
