Homemade Salsa
Description
This salsa combines diced tomatoes and ROTEL tomatoes containing green chiles, providing a balance of sweetness and mild heat. The addition of roughly chopped yellow onion and a significant amount of cilantro contributes sharpness and herbaceous notes, rounded by garlic powder and salt for seasoning. Lime juice adds acidity, brightening the overall taste.
The ingredients are processed in a food processor or blender, pulsed several times until the salsa reaches the preferred texture, whether chunky or smooth. Chilling the salsa for 30 minutes allows the flavors to develop and meld properly.
Serve chilled as a versatile accompaniment to chips, tacos, or grilled dishes. Storing salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator maintains freshness for about a week, while freezing extends storage up to two months.

Instructions

Notes
