Fresh Salsa
A fresh, partially blended salsa.
Ingredients
- 10 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.75 cup yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 0.5 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper seeds removed, diced
- 1 large anaheim pepper seeds removed, diced
- 1 medium lime juiced
- 0.5 tsp granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp celery salt
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the tomatoes. Slice the ends off and cut in half. Squeeze the tomato pieces over a bowl to remove juice and seeds.
- Place tomatoes into a large food processor or blender. Pulse 4 to 6 times until the tomatoes reach a thick and chunky consistency. Be sure not to overdo it, because you will still be blending them more in the next step.
- Add all remaining ingredients into the food processor with the tomatoes. Pulse 3 to 5 more times until combined, but still chunky.
- Eat right away or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
