Here’s a quick detox salsa recipe that is simple yet delicious. The freshly grown cilantro truly makes all the difference in taste!  The turmeric and cilantro are a wonderful detox combo, combating both toxic metals and inflammation.

Handful of freshly grown cilantro (more or less to taste)
3 large tomatoes or 5 Roma tomatoes
1/2 large white onion
2 jalapeno peppers (or hot peppers of your choice)
1/8 cup lime juice (you can add more if you wish)
Salt (to taste, start with 1/8 tsp)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp turmeric

Variations: use/add lemon juice, add avocado (don’t forget to keep the seed in the salsa jar), add a sprinkle of cumin or any of your favorite spices.

In a large blender, blend the tomatoes and onion for a short period, just enough to chop them up. This helps the tomatoes become soft and juicy, so liquid will be at the bottom of the blender, allowing for all ingredients to blend well.

Add peppers, lime juice, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, turmeric and cilantro. Pulse on low until ingredients are blended well.

Feel free adjust the amounts of each ingredient, as everyone has different taste preferences. This salsa tastes super fresh and delicious! It is best stored in a glass jar and must be refrigerated.
