Divine One-Minute Salsa
Description
The Divine One-Minute Salsa combines simple, fresh ingredients chopped quickly in a food processor or blender. Red onion, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, lime juice, garlic, and salt are first coarsely pulsed to avoid over-processing and preserve texture. Diced tomatoes are drained and added last with a few brief pulses to incorporate them without losing the salsa’s chunkiness. A short drain in a sieve removes excess liquid for better consistency.
This salsa offers a balance of herbaceous freshness from the cilantro, tang from lime juice, and moderate heat from the jalapeños and garlic. The chunky texture works well for scooping with chips or as a topping. The mix can be refrigerated for up to two days, though it is best fresh.
A suggested variation includes folding in diced avocado just before serving to add creaminess and richness, complementing the spicy and citrus elements of the salsa.
Ingredients
- ½ small red onion peeled and quartered
- ½ cup cilantro fresh leaves
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeños drained, jarred
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 garlic peeled, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (28-ounce) (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes drained
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor (or a blender), pulse the onion, cilantro, jalapenos, lime juice, garlic and salt until coarsely chopped.
- Add the drained tomatoes and pulse until combined. Don’t overprocess in this step if you want your salsa to remain chunky – just give it a few good 1-second pulses until everything is mixed.
- Place the salsa in a fine mesh strainer or sieve and drain briefly. Transfer to a bowl and serve. (The salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)
Notes
- Mix diced avocado into the salsa just before serving for a creamy addition.
- Do not overprocess to keep chunkiness; use brief pulses when adding ingredients.
- Drain canned tomatoes before adding to reduce excess liquid and improve texture.
- Refrigerate salsa in an airtight container for up to two days.
