Ingredients

  • 3 beefsteak large tomatoes, roughly chopped (look for ripe ones)
  • ½ white onion
  • 1 Jalapeño seeded
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 limes juiced
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ Teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the ingredients are all chopped equally. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor as necessary.
  2. Taste and adjust the lime juice and seasoning, as desired.
  3. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving for best flavor, and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Freezing Instructions: If you are planning to freeze it, puree the salsa fairly fine for the best texture upon defrosting. It should last for about a year.
