Blender Salsa with Cilantro & Lime Essential Oils!


This happens to be my favorite snack of the century...
Chips & Blender Salsa!

I love the new blender trend in salsa making, it's genius!  Who has time for all that slicing and dicing anyway?  I also have bunches and bunches of juicy homegrown tomatoes that we can't possibly eat...why not roast a few for salsa!

Originally, it was my sister that brought Blender Salsa into my life.  We were in her kitchen munching away on chips and  a new Salsa she had made then blogged about on One Good Thing by Jillee.  This salsa is SO easy, flavorful and spicy, it's now my new go to recipe from now to eternity. 

I do LOVE Jill's recipe but I can't help myself, I mess with perfection.  With just a dash of doTERRA's Cilantro and Lime essential oils this salsa really gets kicked up a notch!




Blender Salsa with Cilantro & Lime EOs

1  14 oz. can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
1  10 oz. can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes
1/2  onion rough chop
1  clove garlic peeled and smashed
1 small jalapeno rough chopped seeds optional
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Small handful of washed and dried cilantro
**2  drops of Cilantro essential oil
**2 drops of Lime essential oil




Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or a good blender.  Pulse a good 20 t0 30 times until everything is finely chopped and blended to your desired consistency.  Season to taste and serve with chips!



**Quick run down of how you're enhancing your salsa besides just flavor!  Cilantro essential oil is an antioxidant that helps control free radicals.  It also helps to leach or chelate the presence of heavy metals in our systems.  Lime essential oil is a powerful internal cleanser, mood enhancer and beneficial for joints.
  
Because doTERRA's Essential Oils are so pure we're able to use them internally.  What better way to get essential oils into your system than with delicious, nutritious FOOD!  

Essential oils aren't just for the medicine cabinet anymore!
