Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 medium white onion, roughly chopped
- 1–2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
- 1–2 jalapeños, seeds and membranes removed for less heat, or left in for more heat, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 1–2 limes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the quartered tomatoes, chopped onion, garlic cloves, cilantro, and chopped jalapeños in a blender or food processor.
- Add the fresh lime juice, salt, and cumin (if using).
- Pulse the ingredients until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother salsa, blend longer. For a chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice if desired.
- Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate for later.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave some or all of the jalapeño seeds and membranes intact.
- Adjust the amount of cilantro and lime juice to your preference.
- This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Consider this a great alternative to some meal planning services when you want a fresh, homemade option.
