How to Make Easy Salsa
- Roughly chop 1/2 medium red onion.
- Remove stem and seeds from 1-2 jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference). Finely chop.
- Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh cilantro leaves.
- Combine onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a food processor.
- Pulse until finely chopped but not completely pureed. (Leave some texture!)
- Add one 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon juice), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
- Process until blended to your desired consistency. For a chunky salsa, pulse a few times. For a smoother salsa, blend longer.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more lime/lemon juice, salt, cumin or a pinch of sugar to balance).
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
