Quick Restaurant Style Salsa

Megan Lowery
The quick restaurant style salsa tastes just like those endless salsa and chips that you eat too much of, but is super easy to make. So you can stop buying premade salsa at the store, cause once you start making it fresh you’ll never want it any other way!

Ingredients
  

  • 1-28 ounce can whole roasted tomatoes, San Marzano is the best
  • 2-10 ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, roughly smashed
  • 1 jalapeno, roughly chopped (seeded or not, depends on your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 handful cilantro
  • juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

  • Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Test salsa and adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Refrigerate at least an hour before serving, but overnight is even better. This allows all the flavors to incorporate and will enhance the red color of the salsa as well.

Notes

This makes a really large batch and may need to be made in smaller batches, depending on the size of your blender. This can keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a month.
