How to Make Slow Cooker Restaurant Style Garden Salsa
This recipe is seriously so easy. Gather up all your produce. Wash and chop it.
Place the tomatoes, onions, peppers, vinegar, and coriander in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, or high for 3 hours.

In the last few minutes, add in the fresh basil, cilantro, and ground sage. You can serve it chunky, or puree it with an immersion blender to get just the consistency you want. Add salt to taste at the very end.
Seriously, that’s it friends. For so little effort, you get a massive pay-out.
My cute guacamole dish is HERE.
Serve it with some crispy tortilla chips (we like the lime flavored ones), homemade guacamole, and some Watermelon Margaritas and you have everything you need for the perfect Happy Hour at Home!
