• Tomatillos, peeled and rinsed
• Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes (you can also use beefsteak too)

This answer is simple, leave them out. I promise this salsa recipe will be just as delicious.

How To Make Roasted Tomatillo and Tomato Salsa

Heat your oven to 425°. Arrange the tomatillos, tomato quarters, jalapeño, onion and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil to lightly coat.

Roast the veggies for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the veggies have started to brown.

Remove from oven and add the roasted vegetables into the bowl of a food processor or a small blender. Add the lime juice, salt, and cilantro leaves.

Pulse until all of the ingredients are combined and your desired salsa consistency is achieved.

How To Store Homemade Salsa

If you are a frequent reader of The Farm Girl Gabs, you know how much I love Mason Jars! I won’t go into my love affair of them but will tell you that I store my fresh salsa in a mason jar.

Once cooled and processed, I add to the jar and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
