Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes -quartered
- ¼ small onion -cut into large chunks
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- ½ small jalapeño -seeds removed and coarsely chopped (add the rest of the jalapeño if more spice is needed)
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoon lime juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt -plus more if needed
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor.
- Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Check the salt level just before reaching the perfect texture to avoid over-processing if you need to adjust the seasoning and pulse again. If the salsa is too watery, you can strain it to remove excess liquid.
Notes
- Use the freshest ingredients: Fresh tomatoes, onions, and cilantro make a big difference.
- Don’t puree the salsa: Keep some texture for the best results.
- Adjust the heat: Add more or less jalapeno based on your spice preference.
- Tweak the flavors: Add more lime juice or salt to suit your taste.
- Let it sit: If you have time, let the salsa sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- No food processor? No problem: You can use a blender or chop everything finely by hand.
- Add a pinch of sugar: If you find the salsa too acidic, a pinch of sugar can balance it out.
- Strain if watery: If the salsa is too watery, strain half of it to remove some liquid.
