Fresh Homemade Salsa Recipe
Description
This Fresh Homemade Salsa starts with halved or quartered Roma tomatoes combined with canned diced tomatoes and their juices to provide a base that is both fresh and rich. Chopped white onion, seeded jalapeno, fresh cilantro, and garlic cloves add layers of sharpness, heat, and herbal brightness. Lime juice brings acidity, while chili powder, cumin, and salt season the salsa with mild earthiness and a touch of warmth.
The ingredients are pulsed briefly in a food processor to create a salsa that remains somewhat coarse rather than completely smooth, preserving textural interest. It is then refrigerated for a couple of hours before serving to develop a unified flavor profile. This salsa is suitable for dipping or as a topping for Mexican dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Roma tomato halved or quartered
- 12 oz diced tomatoes with their juice, canned, petite
- 1/2 cup white onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper roughly chopped, seeded
- 1/3 cup cilantro fresh
- 2 garlic roughly chopped, cloves
- 1 Tbsp lime juice from 1/2 fresh lime
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 2 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse in 2 second bursts until all ingredients are chopped and combined. Note: Don’t over blend your salsa. You want a fine texture, but not a puree.
- Leave salsa covered and refrigerated for a couple of hours before you are ready to serve. This will bring all the flavors together.
