Equipment
Ingredients
- 7-8 roma tomatoes quartered and deseeded
- ½ medium red onion diced
- 2 jalapeños ends trimmed, seeds and membrane removed if desired
- ½ cup cilantro thick stems removed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Prepare your vegetables by washing them, quartering and deseeding the Roma tomatoes, dicing the red onion, removing jalapeño seeds and membranes (for milder heat), chopping cilantro (remove thick stems), and mincing the garlic.7-8 roma tomatoes, ½ medium red onion, 2 jalapeños, ½ cup cilantro, 2 cloves garlic
- Place all the ingredients, including the lime juice and spices, into the bowl of your food processor.½ lime, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Use the food processor to pulse the ingredients together until you reach your preferred salsa consistency. Pulse less for a chunkier texture and more for a smoother texture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Before transferring the salsa to a serving bowl, give it a taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lime juice, sugar, or spice to suit your tastes.
- For the best flavor, cover the salsa and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or use it as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, and more!
Notes
- Choose fresh ingredients. Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Ripe tomatoes, freshly squeezed lime juice, minced fresh garlic, and cilantro all make a more delicious salsa.
- Strain the liquid off. If the salsa is too watery, use a fine mesh sieve to strain the excess liquid off before serving.
- Storage: Store homemade salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
