How to Make Spicy Garden Salsa

  1. Peel and roughly chop 1 medium red onion.
  2. Mince 4 cloves of garlic.
  3. Add the chopped red onion, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a blender.
  4. Add 2 pounds of vine-ripened tomatoes (standard tomatoes preferred) to the blender.
  5. Based on your spice preference, add 2-4 jalapeños to the blender. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes. (Note: Green jalapeños are milder than those with white striations.)
  6. Roughly chop 1/2 cup of cilantro, discarding the thicker stems.
  7. Add the chopped cilantro to the blender.
  8. Blend all ingredients until coarsely pureed.
  9. Transfer the salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. (For best results, refrigerate overnight.)
