Last year in my garden we were harvesting more tomatoes than we knew what to do with! We were having Panzanella Salad and Marinated Tomatoes almost every week. Once my jalapenos came in, I was all about that fresh salsa! Who doesn’t love that fresh salsa flavor!? Store bought salsa just does not compare.
This recipe is pretty much goof proof. You just add all the ingredients to the blender and blend. Yes, it really is that simple!
Just serve up with a side of some crispy salty tortilla chips or along with your favorite tacos or burritos.
Note: If you over blend your salsa, it can become sort of frothy. If this happens, just cover and store in the fridge for a couple of hours and it should settle. Fresh salsa can last in the fridge covered for up to two weeks. The flavors get better and better with time.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 white onion
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 jalapeno
4–6 medium sized tomatoes
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 c fresh cilantro leaves
juice from 1 lime
pinch of sugar (optional, to balance the acidity of the tomatoes)
STEPS
- Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno to a food processor or blender and pulse a few times to chop.
- Add all the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend to desired consistency.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to really come together. (Optional)
