Easy Homemade Salsa

Chelsea Colbath
A quick, easy, homemade salsa made entirely in your food processor!
Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 15- ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes*
  • 1 jalapeno seeds removed for less heat, if desired
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 a small red onion
  • a handful of cilantro about 1/4 cup, tightly packed
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • 1. Open the can of tomatoes and pour it into the bowl of your food processor or high-powered blender. Peel the onion and garlic, and cut the jalapeno in half to remove the seeds, then add everything to the food processor along with the cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Taste and add more salt, if needed. For an extra spicy salsa, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeno.
  • 2. Blend on high for about 1 minute, or until there are only small chunks remaining. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

*I have found fire-roasted tomatoes on the shelf of every major grocery store. If you can't find them diced, whole or crushed would both work instead. Trader Joe's carries canned fire-roasted tomatoes that already have green chilies mixed in, which will make this salsa a little extra spicy!
