Ingredients
Fresh Produce
- 1 1/4 lbs ripe Roma tomatoes (about 5 – 6 tomatoes)
- 2 green onions, ends trimmed and chopped into thirds
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion (about 1/4 of a medium onion)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (about a handful)
- 1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
Canned Goods
- 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
Seasonings & Other
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prepare all ingredients by trimming, chopping, and measuring as needed to ensure smooth processing.
- Combine & Pulse: Place all fresh and canned tomatoes, green onions, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper into a food processor. Pulse in one-second bursts until the mixture is finely chopped to your preferred texture.
- Chill for Flavor: Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or airtight container. For best flavor, refrigerate for a few hours to allow the ingredients to blend and marinate.
- Serve: Enjoy the salsa with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
- Store: Keep the salsa refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, include the jalapeno seeds or add an extra jalapeno.
- If you prefer chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times in the food processor.
- Ripe Roma tomatoes contribute sweetness and body to the salsa; using fresh ripe tomatoes enhances the flavor.
- The optional sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes but can be omitted for a more natural taste.
- Store any leftovers in a sealed container to maintain freshness.
