Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 large tomatoes cored and diced, I recommend Roma tomatoes (about 1 ½ lb)
  • 1 small onion chopped, I recommend red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1 ½ jalapeños seeded and roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice about ½ lime
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ⅓ tsp chili flakes optional, for spicer salsa
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin more to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes, chop onions and cilantro, stem, seed and chop your jalapeños.
  2. In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, lemon juice and all seasonings. Mix the vegetables.
  3. Add diced tomatoes to the food processor and blend a bit more, but do not overmix. I recommend not over-blending homemade salsa, or it will get too saucy.
  4. Adjust with salt to taste, then transfer to an airtight food container or mason jar and refrigerate. Let homemade salsa chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
