Restaurant-Style Blender Salsa (Easy!)
Report
An easy salsa made right at home in the blender! Refreshing, flavorful, and tastes similar to the ones you find at a Mexican restaurant.

Ingredients
- 28 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 4 oz. can diced green chiles, mild (or fresh jalapeño)
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup yellow onion
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro*
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1/2 tsp. agave (or pure maple syrup)
- 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Dice onion and mince garlic. (Or simply place in food processor and pulse a few times.)
- Place all ingredients in a large food processor or good blender. (I use my 9 cup food processor.) Blend or pulse for about 10 seconds to combine. Blend longer to achieve a smoother consistency, or shorter for chunkier salsa.
- Taste and adjust flavors or add more salt if desired. You can serve it right away, but it tastes best after it chills for a couple hours or overnight (which also mellows the raw onion and garlic). Store salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- *Cilantro: The more, the better in my opinion! I often double or triple it.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 4 cups salsa. (Cut the recipe in half and use a 15 oz. can diced tomatoes for a smaller batch if desired.)
- Green chiles: Feel free to omit the small can of green chiles. Or use diced tomatoes with green chiles included instead.
- Variations: Add jalapeño, roasted garlic, chipotle, serrano, etc.
