Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup, loosely packed cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes (optional for extra juiciness)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Dice the Roma tomatoes into quarters and place them in a food processor.
Step 3
Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper (leave some seeds if you prefer extra spice). Chop it into a few pieces and add to the food processor.
Step 4
Peel the red onion and garlic cloves, then roughly chop them into smaller pieces. Add to the food processor.
Step 5
Add the cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt, and ground cumin to the food processor.
Step 6
If you would like a juicier salsa, add 1 cup of canned diced tomatoes to the food processor.
Step 7
Pulse the food processor 8-10 times or until the salsa reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Be careful not to over-blend.
Step 8
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Step 9
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
