Ingredients

  • 5 whole roma tomatoes Firm, red and seeded
  • 1 can roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 small red onions cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic fresh
  • 1 small canned green chilis
  • ¼ bunch cilantro
  • 1 whole Lime juice
  • ¼ tsp cumin powder or more to taste
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Roughly clean and chop the fresh vegetables.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor along with the spices and pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and you achieved the consistency you like.
  • Transfer to a dish and allow to rest in the fridge for an hour before serving if time permits. This step is not required.
  • Serve with your favorite chips.

Notes

  • Make sure you remove the seeds of the tomatoes as leaving the seeds in will make the salsa extra watery.
  • Use fresh lime juice and not the bottled juice as it gives it a more vibrant, tangy, fresh flavor.
  • Want a spicier salsa? Try adding in jalapenos, habanero, or another spicy pepper, making sure to remove the seeds first.
  • Don’t over blend the salsa, you want there to still be some texture to your salsa and not have it be a puree.
  • When adding ingredients into the blender, add the onions, tomatoes, and garlic first so they blend up nicely.
