Homemade Salsa

A super easy, super fresh, super delicious salsa. You'll never need another salsa recipe again! This has been my go-to recipe for years, it's definitely a family favorite. We make it almost every week. It's a staple recipe.

Servings: 10

Prep

5 minutes

Ready in: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.89 lbs ripe Roma tomatoes* (about 5 - 6)
• 0.71 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes**
• 1.43 green onions,*** ends trimmed, chopped into thirds
• 0.24 cup chopped red onion (about 1/4 of a medium)
• 0.71 jalapeno pepper,**** seeded and roughly chopped
• 0.24 cup fresh cilantro (about a handful)
• 0.71 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
• 1.43 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 0.36 tsp chili powder
• 0.18 tsp ground cumin
• 0.36 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse in 1 second bursts until all ingredients are finely chopped.
2. Serve with tortilla chips. Note that salsa always tastes best after it's been refrigerated for a few hours, so if time allows let the flavors marinate together before serving.
3. Store in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Notes

• *Use best quality tomatoes or salsa will be lacking in flavor.
• **Canned diced tomatoes with mild green chilis, or canned fire roasted tomatoes also work great as well.
• ***For a slightly stronger onion flavor you can just omit green onions and use about 3/4 cup red onion (or 1/2 of a medium onion).
• ****You can leave the seeds or use a serrano pepper for a spicy salsa. Sometimes I like to substitute a few canned chipotle peppers with some adobo sauce for the jalapeno. This is also a spicier option.
• Another tasty addition is to include 1/2 bell pepper, or 1 poblano or Anaheim pepper.
• For a thinner salsa, you can add in a bit of tomato juice or tomato sauce if desired.
