Ingredients

  • 6 fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 jalapeno peppers remove seeds
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoons salt to taste

Instructions

  • Roughly chop tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, cilantro, and garlic.
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Slowly pulse a few times to desired consistency. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Helpful Tips:
  • Add jalapeno seeds for a spicier flavor.
  • Roma tomatoes are the most popular type of tomato used in salsa due to their lower water and seed content.
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic can be substituted for fresh.
  • The salsa becomes more flavorful the longer it marinades in the refrigerator.
  • For a less strong onion flavor, reduce to 1/3 of an onion or use sweet onions.
  • This makes roughly 4 cups of salsa but that will be dependent on the size of the fresh vegetables.
Storage:
  • Store salsa in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
