Pepita Salsa
Delicious salsa with a sweet heat and extra texture from pepitas. Perfect for snacking or with dinner over chicken or fish!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pepitas roasted/salted/shelled pumpkin seeds
- 1 jalapeno cut into chunks (remove seeds for less spicy)
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- ½ lime juiced
- 1 can fire roasted tomatoes 14.5 ounces or so
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more if needed
- 2 tablespoons honey
- cilantro leaves for topping optional
Instructions
- Add the pepitas, jalapeno chunks, and garlic to a food processor. Pulse a few times to chop the garlic and pepper, then add the rest of the ingredients.
- Pulse to create a chunky salsa, then taste. Add more salt, honey, or lime juice to your preference. The salsa should be really flavorful!
- Pulse again until the salsa is the texture you'd like it to be. Top with cilantro and extra pepitas if you'd like, and serve!
Notes
Nuts and seeds like pepitas can smell a little funky after awhile; I like to keep them fresh by storing them in the freezer if they aren't going to be used right away.
