How to Make Holly's Salsa

  1. Combine 2 cloves of minced garlic with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste in a small bowl to create a flavorful paste.
  2. Add 4 cups chopped ripe tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat), and the garlic-tomato paste to a medium-sized bowl.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Taste and add more salt or lime juice to your preference.
  4. Gently mix all ingredients together. For a smoother salsa, you can pulse the mixture a few times in a food processor or blender (optional).
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
