How to Make Year Round Salsa

  1. Finely dice the onion, garlic, and cilantro.
  2. Drain the canned tomatoes and roughly chop them. Remove seeds if desired for a less watery salsa.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the diced onions, garlic, cilantro, canned tomatoes, lime juice, and salt.
  4. Add the jalapeño, removing seeds and membranes for less heat, or leave them in for extra spice.
  5. Stir all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño to your preference.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best flavor, let it sit for 2-4 hours or even overnight.
