Easy Homemade Low Carb Keto Restaurant Style Salsa

This is one of the easiest of the Best Homemade Keto Restaurant Style Salsa Recipes, it’s low in calories, made with healthy tomatoes, has no added sugar, and can be made mild or spicy according to your preference. Made with natural ingredients and only 4 grams of net carbs per serving.

Homemade and store-bought salsa

Salsa is the greatest invention of all time…. Lower your hands! Buying store-bought salsa is so convenient, that’s what I did! I love this product and so does my family. But I was tired of buying jars every week.

I’m always inspired when I go to my favorite Mexican restaurant. They make homemade guacamole at your table and serve you fresh salsa. It’s a simple ingredient, but it packs a punch of flavor! I finally decided to make my own amazing recipe for making the best salsa.

I scoured the internet for fresh salsa recipes by Giada, Paula Dean, and Ree Drummond. I mixed what I like and what I know my family likes, changing some of the fresh ingredients and adding others to create my own easy blender salsa recipe that everyone will love.

The good news is that my recipe card includes instructions for making either the typical chunky salsa you enjoy at a restaurant or a smooth low-carb salsa.

Homemade Chunky Keto Salsa Recipe

These photos use fresh plum tomatoes, and they were delicious. You could also use Roma tomatoes. In fact, my husband prefers to use only fresh tomatoes.

Whole tomatoes are hit or miss at the grocery store in the winter in terms of ripeness and flavor, so I convinced him that using canned ones would be just as good. He was skeptical, but he actually likes it just as much, if not more.

I love the simple fact that canned tomatoes last forever in the pantry, so I can make this easy salsa anytime. 😉 Perfect for Super Bowl Sunday or any night you want to enjoy some keto Mexican recipes!!

To keep the texture thick, you only need to process it a few times.

This is our favorite salsa recipe, but it’s only slightly spicy because my family can’t stand too much spiciness.

If you want a spicy salsa, leave the fresh jalapeño seeds and membranes intact for more heat and spice. You can also add chipotle peppers or green chili peppers.

I love chunks of tomato in my chunky fresh salsa, but my kids prefer a smoother salsa, so the next time I made it I worked it about 10 times to suit their tastes. Salsa at Mexican restaurants is pureed, not chunky.

Do what you like, that’s what I’m saying!

I make a lot of this, and since my family eats up this simple recipe quickly, I want to eat a lot of it.

I use this flavorful fresh tomato salsa to top a variety of things, including my favorite keto tacos, breakfast burritos, keto carnitas, taco casserole, and sometimes even taco salad.

Of course the kids eat it with crunchy tortilla chips. I buy the Siete brand because it is made with cassava flour and uses avocado oil instead of canola or soybean oil.

zero carb tortilla chips

If you want very low carb, keto, homemade tortilla chips, I recommend just buying egg white wraps and toasting them.

Here’s how to make low-carb chips.

Cut egg white wrap into triangles, spray both sides with avocado oil cooking spray, and sprinkle with Redmond Real Salt.

Air fry at 400°F for 3-5 minutes, turning once. They’re not quite the same as corn chips, but they’re delicious enough when you’re on a keto diet, and they’re definitely delicious when combined with the fresh flavor of my chunky homemade salsa recipe!

Can this easy salsa recipe be reduced?

My salsa recipe makes about 5 and a half cups of salsa. You can reduce this amount if it is too much for your family. Click “Print” below the recipe card for options to change serving size and nutritional data.

If you want to make a small batch of this amazing and best keto salsa, instead of using whole peeled tomatoes, just include diced tomatoes in the salsa ingredients for this entire recipe and cut the remaining ingredients in half.

If using fresh tomatoes, you can use about 3 large, ripe tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes.

keto mexican food

Ordering keto-friendly food at a Mexican restaurant isn’t that difficult. Tacos and burritos contain flour tortillas, which aren’t great options, but if you order fajitas, they come with tortillas, making it easy to customize for keto.

Skip the soft tortillas and enjoy chicken, steak, or shrimp with toppings like peppers, onions, sour cream, cheese, or guacamole.

If you omit the rice and refried beans, you’ll be fine. Skip the corn tortillas and bring pork rinds, or ask for fresh peppers to dip in salsa or guacamole.

This is a photo of a typical restaurant style salsa that is more pureed. Either way, it’s delicious!

Can I freeze this salsa?

I have never tried freezing a salsa recipe. Because salsa quickly runs out at home. However, I think you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for about a month.
