5 Minute Restaurant Style Salsa
Why do we buy canned salsa? Whyyy?? This easy, homemade restaurant-style salsa takes 5 minutes to throw together, and it really does taste like it’s from a restaurant. Also, scroll down to read how Eric and I have been hosting Taco Tuesdays all summer, and how you can too!
Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Core the tomatoes and slice them in half. Add them to a food processor or blender.
- If you are using canned tomatoes, drain them in a colander. Or squeeze a handful at a time out over the sink. Add drained tomatoes to the blender.
- Add the onion. Smash the garlic with the side of a knife and add that too.
- Add half a jalapeno.
- Add the cilantro. I just chopped off what looked like about 3 tablespoons worth of leaves from the bunch and threw it in. You can always add more if you want.
- Add the lime juice, cumin, salt, sugar, and black pepper.
- Pulse the mixture about 1 full second at a time until blended. Stop a few times to scrape down the edges so you get everything chopped up. Don't go overboard or it will get too watery.
- Serve with chips! Juanitas are the best chips. The salsa tastes great right away, but is even better the next day, after the flavors have married. Such a great union.
