The salsa can be done as a chopped salsa with a knife and then mixed together or blended in a food processor.
I liked the idea of a chunky salsa that has some texture to add to a grilled meat, tacos or burritos.
Give it a try and Enjoy!

Notes

Vegetables will be easier to grind in the molcajete when they are warm. But you can do when they are cold as well.
Enjoy the salsa warm or chilled.
