Tomato Salsa Recipe

 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 lbs ripe tomatoes (about 5 – 6)
• 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
• 2 green onions ends trimmed, chopped into thirds
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion (about 1/4 of a medium)
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and roughly chopped (can omit if you don’t like spicy)
• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (about a handful)
• 1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse in 1 second bursts until all ingredients are finely chopped.
2. Serve with tortilla chips. Note that salsa always tastes best after it’s been refrigerated for a few hours, so if time allows, let the flavors marinate together before serving.
3. Store in refrigerator up to 1 week in airtight container.
