Vegan Salsa - Vegan recipe hero image

I have such fond memories of gathering with friends and family over a big bowl of salsa and tortilla chips.

It’s one of those simple pleasures that brings everyone together.

Making this vegan salsa is a ritual for me; I love experimenting with fresh ingredients from the farmer's market.

The best part?

It’s super quick to prepare and can be customized to your taste!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I always go for Roma tomatoes because they have that nice balance of sweetness and acidity. If you want to kick it up a notch, try adding a bit of diced mango or pineapple for a sweet twist! You can also swap the jalapeño for a milder pepper if you’re sensitive to heat.

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge—they stay fresh for a week, and I love seeing the colors through the jar!
  • If you want a chunkier salsa, just cut the ingredients into larger pieces.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add diced avocado for a creamy texture—just be sure to eat it the same day to prevent browning.
  • If I have leftover roasted vegetables, I’ll toss them in for a smoky, unique flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It should last about 5-7 days, but trust me, it rarely lasts that long in my house!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this salsa ahead of time?

Absolutely! It actually tastes even better after sitting for a while. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by dicing the Roma tomatoes. I love using ripe, juicy tomatoes for that fresh flavor.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Next, take your jalapeño pepper, seed it if you prefer less heat, and mince it. Toss it in with the tomatoes and onions.

  4. 4

    Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixing bowl. It adds such a vibrant, fresh flavor.

  5. 5

    Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add the minced garlic. It’s the perfect zing for the salsa.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and black pepper. If you like, you can stir in a teaspoon of agave syrup for a hint of sweetness.

  7. 7

    Mix everything together gently until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  8. 8

    Let your salsa sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle. Serve it with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos or salads!
