Ingredients

  • 1 28 oz can roma tomatoes
  • zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 small red onion quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 chipotles in adobo sauce OR 1/2 tsp chipotle powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients into your blender container.
  2. Give quick pulses or run your blender on the lowest setting until your restaurant-style blender salsa is at your desired consistency.
  3. Give a quick taste and season with kosher salt and lime juice as needed.
  4. Serve in a bowl. The flavors get even better as the salsa sits.

Notes

  • You can freeze blender salsa! Make a big batch and freeze it in portions in freezer-safe zip-top bags or in Souper Cubes. Keep in the freezer for up to 6 months and thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • This recipe is incredibly customizable! Add in fresh oregano, different chiles, substitute the cilantro for parsley (shout out to y'all with the soap gene!).
  • We love a more mild salsa, but if you love spicy salsa turn it up a notch! Use cayenne pepper to really add that spice.
  • If you're going to use fresh tomatoes, the type of tomatoes matter! The best tomatoes (in my opinion!) are San Marzano-style roma tomatoes because they tend to be sweeter and less watery than your classic sandwich-style tomatoes, so save your beautiful heirloom tomatoes.
  • If your tomatoes are on the too-acidic side add in a small bit of sugar, like 1/2 teaspoon. You don't want it to taste sweet, you just want to balance out the acidity.
  • Here's a secret for thicker salsa: make sure you don't have tomato seeds in your salsa. The seeds make your salsa watery!
