  3. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and add to the chopped mixture.
  4. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, and 2 tablespoons tomato sauce.

  6. For a smoother salsa, pulse the mixture in a food processor for a few seconds. Adjust to your preferred consistency.
