Ingredients
-
1 can (14.5 oz / 411 g) diced tomatoes, undrained
-
⅓ cup (about 40 g) red onion, coarsely chopped
-
¼ cup (4 g) fresh cilantro
-
1 lime, zested and juiced
-
1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
-
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
-
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
-
Sea salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Add canned tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime zest and juice, jalapeño, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor.
-
Blend or pulse to reach your desired texture. Pulse for chunkier salsa, or blend longer for a smoother consistency.
-
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime as needed.
-
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days to deepen flavor.
Notes
For more heat, keep the jalapeño seeds or use a serrano pepper.
Rinse red onion under cold water to mellow the bite.
Fire-roasted canned tomatoes add a smoky depth.
Chunky texture = pulse; smooth = longer blend.
Great for chips, tacos, eggs, bowls, or even avocado toast.
