Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a mini food processor or blender, mix/blend until all the ingredients are completely crushed and the sauce is smooth. Make sure the sauce is blended well enough so that the olive oil is well mixed into the salsa.
Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. The salsa is best if used the same day it’s prepared.

Notes

You can blend the ingredients in a mini food processor or in a blender; the consistency does come out smoother in a blender. However, sometimes it’s just easier to make it in the food processor. Regardless of which appliance you use it’s important to make sure that even after the all ingredients are crushed and blended, you still need to blend a little bit more to make sure that the olive oil is completely incorporated into the sauce.
