Whether it’s a crowd you’re hosting for a party, a few friends to watch the game, or just hanging around the house, nothing pleases the masses better than Salsa and Guacamole! This Dynamic Duo is an everyday staple at my house, especially on taco night or for a long weekend and, with the help of your handy dandy food processor, it’s a cinch to make fresh!

LET’S START WITH THE SALSA…

The way to my hubby’s heart isn’t just through his stomach, it’s with SALSA! He loves the stuff and if there is a big ‘ol mason jar filled with salsa each weekend, he is one happy fella!

HOW TO MAKE IT:

First do a quick pulse in your food processor to your fresh veggies (red onion, bell pepper, jalapenos, garlic) and then add in a few cans of fire roasted tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice and zest and season to taste.

The fire roasted tomatoes are the ULTIMATE CHEAT to a deliciously complex flavor without the work… You Smarty Pants! Serve with your favorite chips or alongside tacos, taquitos, on fried eggs or as a condiment for darn near anything!

NOW ONTO THE GUACAMOLE

(such a fun word…Guacamole!)…

Again using a food processor, pulse together onions, bell pepper, jalapenos, cilantro and garlic. Add in avocados, lime and salt. Give the ingredients another pulse and taste for seasoning.

Serve it with all kinds of yummy things and don’t forget the cocktails! Our Watermelon Basil Margarita or Deep Breath Mezcal Cucumber Martini. Either way, you’ve got the makings of one heck of a party! I want to come!
