5 Minute Restaurant Style Salsa
Report
Why do we buy canned salsa? Whyyy?? This easy, homemade restaurant-style salsa takes 5 minutes to throw together, and it really does taste like it’s from a restaurant. Also, scroll down to read how Eric and I have been hosting Taco Tuesdays all summer, and how you can too!

Ingredients
- 2 tomatoes 12 ounces OR 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes

- 1/2 clove garlic or 1 very small clove
- 1/2 Jalapeño seeds and membranes discarded
- 3 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 teaspoons lime juice fresh! fresh!
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- pepper to taste, optional

Instructions
- Core the tomatoes and slice them in half. Add them to a food processor or blender.
- If you are using canned tomatoes, drain them in a colander. Or squeeze a handful at a time out over the sink. Add drained tomatoes to the blender.
- Add the onion. Smash the garlic with the side of a knife and add that too.
- Add half a jalapeno.
- Add the cilantro. I just chopped off what looked like about 3 tablespoons worth of leaves from the bunch and threw it in. You can always add more if you want.
- Add the lime juice, cumin, salt, sugar, and black pepper.
- Pulse the mixture about 1 full second at a time until blended. Stop a few times to scrape down the edges so you get everything chopped up. Don't go overboard or it will get too watery.
- Serve with chips! Juanitas are the best chips. The salsa tastes great right away, but is even better the next day, after the flavors have married. Such a great union.
Notes
- Next time, if I have a 4 ounce can of green chiles on hand, I will drain them well and throw it in to my salsa. Try it out! Fire roasted is even better.
