We LOVE the fresh salsa at a certain chain Mexican restaurant, so of course I needed to figure out how to make it at home. This recipe is nearly identical, and is great as a side dish or snack. It is also a crowd-pleaser for parties! It is SO EASY to put together. Literally just throw everything into a food processor and blend.
Ingredients
1 lb Roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 small white onion, roughly chopped
1–2 Serrano peppers, seeded for mild or leave seeds for heat
2 tbsp juice from canned (pickled) jalapeños
2tbsp chopped jalapeño, can use fresh or pickled
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems)
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps balance acidity)
1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional, for extra depth)
Instructions:
Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth but still slightly textured!
