    Instant Pot Salsa

    Instant Pot salsa is more like roasted tomato salsa. We roast the tomato and then cook it with the other ingredients in Instant Pot. It gives a yummy flavor to the salsa. Plus it's real quick.

    Ingredients

    Cherry Tomatoes - They are juicy and qualify well for salsa.Onion - Use white onions or red onions. But red onions are a bit stronger and hence prefer white onions for salsa.

    Jalapeno - If you prefer it less spicy de seed and then use.

    Spice powders - I am using cumin powder, pepper powder, and salt. They add a nice flavor to the salsa.

    Lemon juice - Enhances the taste.

    Cilantro - Gives a fresh flavor to the salsa.

    FAQ's

    What other tomatoes can I use instead of cherry tomatoes?

    You may also use Plum or Roma tomatoes. They work well too for the salsa.

    How to make Cherry Tomato Salsa

    1. Switch on the Instant Pot in saute mode. Add the Cherry tomatoes.

    6. Using a hand blender or blender pulse the salsa coarsely. Add in chopped Cilantro and fold in.

    7. Finally, drizzle in some lemon juice and combine once.
