Equipment
- Food processor or blender
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 large Ripe tomatoes diced
- 1 medium Red onion finely chopped
- 1 Jalapeño minced (seeds optional)
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Chop and Prepare
- Begin by dicing your tomatoes and chopping your red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Remember, the size of the salsa pieces depends on your texture preference—chunky or smooth!
- Mince the garlic finely to distribute its flavor evenly throughout the salsa.
Mixing It All Together
- In your large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic.
- Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse to Perfection
- For a smoother salsa, transfer the mixture to your food processor or blender.
- Do a few pulses until it’s the consistency you want. For a chunky texture, just give it a couple of quick pulses.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, you can roast your tomatoes and jalapeño before adding them to the salsa.
- If you’re sensitive to spice, remove the seeds from the jalapeño to dial down the heat.
