Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white onion about half of an onion roughly chopped
  • 1 pound roma tomatoes 4-5 tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • ½ cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • juice of one medium lime
  • ½ teaspoon salt add more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Add your onion and garlic to a food processor. Pulse until well chopped.
  • Add the rest of your ingredients and pulse again until the salsa thickness is to your liking (pulse less to leave it chunky and more to make it smooth).
  • Add additional salt to taste if needed.

Notes

Makes about 3.5 cups of salsa
Tips:
If your salsa is too watery, take out half the mixture and strain out the water before stirring it all back together.
Don’t over blend your salsa or it will become a puree that’s too soupy to dip into. Pulse until desired consistency is achieved.
 
Homemade salsa can last up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.
