Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes - seeds removed and roughly chopped
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 3 green onions - ends trimmed and chopped
- ½ red onion - peeled and chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime - juiced
- 1 jalapeno pepper - chopped (see notes)
- 1 clove garlic - minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sugar - (optional)
- salt and pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large food processor and pulse in quick 1-second bursts until all ingredients are finely chopped. For a chunkier salsa, process fewer times, while for a smoother salsa, continue pulsing until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper- to taste.
- Allow salsa to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, time permitting, to allow flavors to blend.
- Keep leftovers stored in the refrigerator for up 1 week.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, add more jalapeno peppers. If you're very sensitive to spicy food, you may omit the jalapeno and substitute with 1 (4.5 ounce) can of mild diced green chiles.
- Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days.
