For good salsa you need a nice mix of a few different peppers, usually something sweet like a bell of some sort, coupled with a medium hot like a jalapeño/Serrano. Then you can use a few blazing hot ones like the above mentioned ghost chili. If you're really wanting something you can clone, get heirloom seeds to start with, heirloom seeds are like bagseed most of the time, ya never know what you're gonna get with all the genetic variation from non stabilized seeds. Once you find a pheno you like, clone it until you're tired of growing it~ There usually isn't much variation in the actual fruit, just in plant size and growth habits.
For the adventurous, I have a rather lethal habanero salsa cruda recipe...being a rather extreme chilehead
3 lbs Roma tomatos, coarsely chopped
1 medium size red onion, coarse chopped and soaked in cold water for 10 minutes or so
1-6 cloves garlic, minced, depending on taste
1-6 habanero peppers, stems removed and medium chop. Be REALLY goddamned careful handling these peppers, they WILL hurt you if you make a mistake, and I've made them all...
1 cup spicy V8 or Snap-e-Tom
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
sea or kosher salt to taste
coarse ground black pepper to taste
Mix it all in a non-metallic bowl, should make about 2 quarts. Keep it in the fridge, and toss after 5-6 days, if it lasts that long.
Made with 1 pepper, the heat is noticeable, but not overwhelming. Be aware, the heat grows exponentially the more peppers you add...

Chunky is good. but blended is pretty good too. I dont have an exact recipe but the basics for my salsa are:
Tomatoes
Garlic
Onion (usually sweet)
Cilantro
Chipotle Peppers (im too lazy to rehydrate so i use the canned ones, use some of the sauce they come in too)
Lime juice
salt&pepper
throw it all in a blender.

Tomatoes are probably one of the easiest plants to clone. Sometimes when a tomato branch comes in contact with the ground it will begin to grow roots from there.
Tomatoes are also a fruit, not a vegetable. And for two reasons.
1) Fruits are defined as ripened ovary - together with seeds - of a flowering plant
2) And because they are so damn delicious.

And that looks like a tastey recipe.... I love the heat, Id probably add a few peppers hahaFor the adventurous, I have a rather lethal habanero salsa cruda recipe...being a rather extreme chilehead

i have never tried cloning cilantro, it is so easy to grow from seed. onions next time you are using onions take the root end of the bulb after you are done using the tasty bits and put it in the ground, it may grow it may not. Using an organic onion should help this process too. around here you cant have anything with out a little lime and lime trees are cloneable, however you will have to wait like 3 years min for your fruit.
also salsa gets hotter the longer it sits.

Cilantro/coriander is the essential taste in any decent salsa - assuming you can get it with roots(supermarket is fine here in Oz) you can cut off the leaves, use them, and plant the roots with an inch of stems and they will do fine.

Great mexican green salsa, use tomatillos instead of tomatoe, jalapenos or any green chile of your choice. You want to boil the tomatillos and your chiles in water until they are soft, then you want to blend them together and keep adding chiles until your reach your desired "hot" level also add salt to taste. this goes really go with everything
