Salsa With No Onions!
Tags: Product, Victory
An ancient search, finally concluded. I was in Costco the other day and found this salsa by Del Real Foods. Its short ingredients list (Roasted Tomatoes, Roasted Chilies, Salt) is a real strength, not just for what is is obviously lacking, but because it is good just how it is, and it won’t add that cheap processed flavor to your food if you mix it in with your cooking. It is also good with chips. a little shredded cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
Looking around on their site, I notice that most of the products from Del Real Foods have few to no onions. Del Real, I salute you, for attacking the enemy in their stronghold, and emerging victorious!
Update: Thanks to commenter Cinco, we now know of yet another commercially available place to buy salsa without onions. 505Chile.com sells quite a few salsa and chile products, several of which are onion free, these include:
- Their medium salsa (yellow label but not green)
- The red chile sauce/enchilada sauce.
- The southwestern marinade.
- Their roasted and diced medium green chile.
- The chipotle and honey roasted green chile.

I salute your efforts. Onions are evil and should be eradicated at all costs!

You’re welcome! I’m glad to be of service. I’ve been meaning to post my own recipe for salsa with no onions for a while; you’ve given me renewed motivation to do so.

If you do find this elsewhere, let me know. The more places we can refer people, the more likely it is to sell and continue to be made.

Salsa without onions? That’s sacrilege! The whole reason why the long name of the tomato-based fresh pico de gallo is “salsa Mexicana” is not just because it’s Mexican but because it has the colors of the Mexican flag: green (hot peppers), white (ONIONS!), and red (tomatoes). Of course, some people may hate onions for whatever reason, and some , possibly, CAN’T eat them, so I’m just joshing, but this is a real fact. I do prefer to be a purist and HATE most “Tex-Mex” versions of foods that come from south of the border…

Ah, yes, but while the Red originally signified unity, and the green independence, the white symbolized Catholicism. Being a heathen as well as an onion hater, I have no fear of such a sacrilege.

Welcome to the cause! I look forward to seeing your future content as well.
As onion haters we face two main hurdles:
1: The onion remains a cheap and anonymous filler. Commercial products and restaurants commonly make food in which the primary ingredient is onions, yet they are not mentioned in the labeling. We are a large group, larger than vegetarians by my reckoning. We deserve a little consideration.
2: People the world over don’t know how to cook without them. Nearly every recipe I find for a dinner dish starts with dicing half an onion and putting it into a hot pan. Is this the only way we know how to cook? Come up with a simple replacement for this ritual and you will have done us a great service.

Safeway (Randall’s in TX) sells it! Thank you so much! I am allergic and was having trouble finding anything to eat that did not include onions!

Ron and Jo Jo’s Salsa Recipe
(This recipe has NO onions or Jalapenos, my brother( Ron) is very allergic to onions, so this was created with him in mind. Try as is, and see if you like it, you can always tweek it to your taste the next time . We both get rave reviews for it as is. We’ve since found out a lot of true Mexican Salsa’s don’t have onions, as it can give a bitter taste)
28 oz. can of Crushed tomatoes.
(Progresso, Kroeger’s and Target’s brands are very good. Contadina are too soupy and watery, Hunt’s are too mushy)
2 TBS. of dried crushed red peppers or to suit taste
1tsp. salt
2 tsp. granulated garlic (or fresh minced)
4 tsp. salad oil
4 tsp.White or Red wine vinegar
**Fresh chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice are optional, but I add them to my recipe.
Mix by hand, stirring gently. Let Salsa flavors blend for a short period before serving.(red peppers can be misleading until blended for awhile)
Refrigerate any leftovers, if there are some !

My wife actually has a food allergy to onions and as for me well i just don’t understand what the big KRAZE is about onions , you can’t taste anything but onions on anything you eat them with , besides who wants to be the one on the other end of an onion fueled heavy breather wanting to tell you how their day has gone. No Thankyou , go brush and gargle and on the way pick up some breath mints and gum and i’ll see ya tomorrow at which time i pray i won’t be privy to the previous experience of assult on my senses thankyou very much . And i agree with admin and have no fear of such sacrilage.

Loves Onions
I personally love onions and so does my best friend, but due to a medical problem she cannot eat them. Onions make her violently ill. Anyways, she misses salsa because she hasn’t found a good recipe for salsa that doesn’t have onions. I will try your recipe to see how I like it and if it’s at least passable I’ll send her the recipe. I make an awesome lasagna recipe that includes onions and you can taste all the fantastic flavors (not just the onion). :-)

An onion almost took my life as a child …. they are not welcome in my food. Thanks for posting the “no onion” salsa recipe; I will try it. :)
