Ingredients
  

  • 6 Roma or garden tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 0.5 large yellow or red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed
  • 1 lemon or lime, juiced
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 pinch cumin (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until just chunky.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  3. Refrigerate at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
  4. Note: The salsa may be lighter red than store-bought salsa due to the air blended in and fresh tomatoes are usually lighter in color than canned. It may darken up as the air settles.

Notes

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld. The salsa may appear lighter than store-bought due to air incorporated while blending and the natural color of fresh tomatoes. It may deepen in color after sitting.
