Restaurant-Style Salsa
This tomato-based salsa may be the easiest one you ever make, and it tastes just like restaurant versions! Tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, lime and a touch a of jalapeno and cilantro. Add a serrano pepper if you like it spicy!
Equipment
- Blender of Food Processor
- Normal Kitchen Utensils
Ingredients
- 1 Can Diced or Whole Tomatoes 28 oz.
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 2 Limes, Juiced Or 3 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 Small Onion Yellow or White
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Large Jalapeño Or More for Extra Spice
- 1 Serrano Pepper (Optional)
- 1/2 Tbsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Peel the onion and garlic.1 Small Onion, 3 Cloves Garlic
- Give a rough chop to the onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno and (optional) serrano pepper.1 Bunch Cilantro, 1 Large Jalapeño, 1 Serrano Pepper
- Add all the ingredients (add only the juice of the limes) to your blender/food processor and pulse until everything is chopped down to a desired size. You want everything to essentially be minced, but make sure you don't go too far and blend it into salsa soup.1 Can Diced or Whole Tomatoes, 2 Limes, Juiced, 1/2 Tbsp Cumin, 1 tsp Salt
- If using a blender, consider blending the tomatoes in one batch and everything else (which can be blended much smaller) in a second batch. Mix the batches together in a bowl.
- You can serve the salsa right away, but I recommend letting it chill for at least an hour. This will let the flavors meld together and allow the bubbles/froth from blending to disperse. The longer you chill, the better.
- Serve with chips or on top of tacos, or mix with smashed avocado for some pretty solid guacamole. Try mixing it with sour cream for a creamy salsa dip.
