Description
A quick and vibrant salsa made with fresh ingredients, perfect for dipping or as a zesty topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Start by washing your tomatoes and chopping them into quarters for easier blending. If you’re using a jalapeño, remove the seeds if you want a gentle heat.
- Blend your salsa: In your blender, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add a good pinch of salt to start. Blend on high until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust: Taste your salsa and adjust seasonings as needed. More lime for brightness? A dash of salt for balance?
- Chill and serve: Transfer the salsa to a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips, over tacos, or as a topping for grilled chicken.
Notes
Ensure you use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Let the salsa sit for a couple of hours before serving for enhanced flavor.
