About 100 times hotter than a jalape?o, habaneros are the star of this super spicy salsa. Recipe creator Tenille Wasemiller warns, “This salsa is not for lightweights.”

Stumped with what to do with a bundle of green tomatoes? Well, consider blending them up to create this brightly colored and flavored salsa! Using four serrano peppers and four jalape?os, it packs a punch of heat.

The unusual addition of celery adds a nice little hit of freshness and crunch to this spicy salsa. “I served this at an appetizer party. Everyone thought it had a really nice kick,” says reviewer NKTAUBE.

Jalape?o peppers, onions, and cilantro are the trio behind this verde salsa. Reviewer Tom Grabowski even had this to say, “Very fresh tasting and not too spicy.”

When you want to enjoy a basic bowl of salsa with no secret ingredients or special techniques, this is the recipe for you. As a bonus, it uses canned tomatoes, meaning you can enjoy this salsa year-round.

Charring the tomatoes and peppers in this recipe adds a deep smoky flavor that makes it irresistible. This bold recipe uses Anaheim chile peppers, jalape?os, and poblano peppers.

No tomatoes required for this wow-worthy green salsa. Tangy tomatillos make up the base, paired with spicy jalape?os, a head of garlic, and fresh cilantro. If you want even more spice, recipe creator SairajB recommends swapping in Jamaican scotch bonnets for the jalape?os.

Using a whopping cup of jalape?os, this salsa recipe isn't for the faint of heart. Tomatoes, green bell peppers, and onions make up the base, all brightened up with a dash of apple cider vinegar.

The tasty trio of chiles in this salsa is pequin peppers, serranos, and jalape?os. Each, along with tart tomatillos, is dry roasted in a cast-iron skillet to impart a smoky cooked flavor to the final dish.

Get a double dose of smokiness by using both canned chipotles in adobo sauce and dried ancho chiles (smoked poblanos) in this salsa recipe. Reviewer Inhopmann raves, “This was wonderful! The smokey flavor and great texture reminded me of the fresh salsa you get at a restaurant.”
