Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Salsa

A vibrant, no-cook salsa that comes together in minutes, perfect for dipping or spooning over tacos.

This fresh and tangy salsa is a breeze to make, using roasted red peppers from a jar for convenience and cherry tomatoes for a burst of sweetness. The addition of a green chilli gives it a gentle kick, while a slice of bread helps create a wonderfully rustic texture.

Perfect for summer gatherings or as a quick, healthy snack, this salsa can be made ahead and chilled until you're ready to serve. It's a versatile condiment that pairs beautifully with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for nachos.

Method

  1. Place the quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic, deseeded and chopped green chilli, roasted red peppers, torn bread, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a food processor.
  2. Pulse the mixture a few times until you get a rough purée — it should still have some texture.
  3. Transfer the salsa to a small bowl and cover tightly with cling film.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

💡 Tips

  • For a smokier flavor, you can use fire-roasted tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes.
  • This salsa keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the amount of chilli to suit your heat preference.
