Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh tomatoes (or 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes)
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ onion, roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeno, deseeded and membranes removed
- ½ cup cilantro leaves
- Juice from ½ lime
Other Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Add the roughly chopped onion, deseeded jalapeno, and crushed garlic cloves into the food processor. Pulse several times until the ingredients are finely chopped.
- Add Tomatoes: Incorporate the fresh tomatoes (or canned diced tomatoes) and the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles into the processor with the chopped vegetables.
- Pulse: Pulse the mixture repeatedly until the tomatoes break down and release their juices to create the salsa base.
- Add Flavoring: Add honey, salt, cilantro leaves, and the juice from half a lime into the processor. Start by adding a small amount of lime juice to avoid overpowering the salsa.
- Season: Pulse again briefly, adjusting the consistency to your liking, whether chunky or smooth. Taste and adjust the salt, honey, or lime juice as desired for a perfect balance.
Notes
- For less heat, remove seeds and membranes from the jalapeno carefully.
- Adjust lime juice gradually to avoid overpowering the fresh flavors.
- Use fresh tomatoes when possible for a brighter flavor, but canned tomatoes work well too.
- This salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Serve with chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a topping for eggs.
