Ingredients
- ½ bunch cilantro about 1/2 cup packed - see note
- 1 jalapeno pepper stem and seeds removed (leave seeds if more heat
- ¼ of a medium red onion
- ½ to 1 to 1 teaspoon garlic minced, about 2-3 cloves
- 2 cans diced tomatoes regular or fire-roasted, well-drained; 15 ounces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional, balances flavors
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
Instructions
- Add the cilantro, jalapeño, red onion and garlic to a food processor (see note for blender). Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and lime juice. Pulse until the salsa reaches desired consistency. I tend to like the tomatoes finely chopped, but you can leave it chunkier.
- Add additional salt and lime juice to taste, if needed (important!). Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a week. Extra liquid can be drained off before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Cilantro: I don't usually measure this exactly, I just grab half of the cilantro bunch by the leafy ends and twist off the top part, leaving most of the stems. I throw the leafy bunch into the food processor.
- Red Onion: 1/4 of a medium onion equates to about a 2- or 3-inch piece of onion. Use more or less to taste.
- Blender: I haven't tried this with a blender, but I *think* it should work. The trickiest part will be chopping up the cilantro, onion, and garlic in the first step. If your blender may struggle with that step, finely chop those ingredients before adding them to the blender with the tomatoes, salt and lime juice. Then use the blender to pulse all the ingredients until desired consistency is reached.
