Homemade Salsa
Report
My quick & easy homemade salsa is ready in just 5 minutes. We'll be using our blender to do the heavy work for us, so there's no mincing or dicing required. Recipe includes notes to make with either canned or fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes (and notes on when to use which!).

Ingredients
- 2 .5 oz cans diced tomatoes¹ drain one can, see Notes for fresh tomato alternative
- 1 oz can diced green chilis drained
- 1-2 jalapeños stem cut off and seeds/membranes removed²
- ½ medium-sized white onion
- ⅓ cup coarsely chopped cilantro use leaves and stems
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice fresh-squeezed preferred
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients (except tortilla chips!) in your food processor.
- Pulse in short spurts until ingredients are well-combined and desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer to a resealable container. For best results, refrigerate one hour or overnight before serving, but this salsa can be enjoyed right away.
- Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes
- If you have flavorful, red, ripe tomatoes, fresh are the way to go! But if not, use canned tomatoes instead. I recommend fire roasted diced tomatoes if you can get your hands on them. If using fresh tomatoes you will need 5-7 ripe Roma tomatoes. Cut them in half and scrape the seeds out of half the tomatoes (to keep the salsa from being too runny).
- The spiciness of your salsa will vary depending on the spiciness of your jalapenos! I recommend using just one for a mild to medium salsa and two for a medium-hot salsa. To bump up the heat even more you can add a few of the jalapeno seeds to the mix.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
