Description
A classic restaurant-style salsa made with fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a touch of spice. Perfect for pairing with tortilla chips or adding a burst of flavor to your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained (or whole tomatoes)
2 (10 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1/3 cup onions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 lime, juiced
Instructions
Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chopped onions, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and minced jalapeno.
Season:
Add the salt, cumin, and lime juice to the mixture.
Blend:
For a smoother salsa, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and pulse until the desired consistency is reached. For a chunkier salsa, simply stir to combine.
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed (more salt, lime juice, etc.).
Chill (Optional):
For best flavor, refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can roast the tomatoes and peppers before blending. Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or fewer jalapeños. The salsa tastes best when allowed to sit for a bit, giving the ingredients time to meld together.
