Easy Homemade Salsa
Easy Homemade Salsa blends canned whole peeled tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, fresh cilantro, onion, lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and a pinch of sugar. Pureed in a food processor, it results in a medium-spiced salsa with balanced acidity and a fresh, chunky texture. Refrigerating enhances its flavors, making it a versatile condiment for chips, tacos, and more.
