Restaurant Style Salsa

 Who would have known making salsa at home would be so easy?! This recipe takes all of 5 minutes and a few ingredients!

It's fresh and delicious and perfect for so many meals! We make it almost weekly around here!

WHAT YOU NEED

• 2 - 14.5 oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes 
• 1/3 cup onion, chopped (about 1/4 of an onion)
• jalapeno
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pinch of sugar
• juice of one lime
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• TOOLS - blender

HOW TO MAKE RESTAURANT STYLE SALSA

1. Add onion and jalapeno to blender and pulse a few seconds.

2. Add in rest of ingredents and blend until thoroughly mixed.

3. TASTE it then add more spices, if needed. 

LIKE IT HOT??

Add a couple jalapenos, or substitute in a serrano or 2. OR, go for a habanero! That's what my hubby likes! I usually make a regular batch, then add a habanero to half of it for him.

LIKE IT MILD?

Add less jalapeno or omit it all together! You can add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes instead. It will give a little flavor, but not as much heat!

TIPS

-Make it early in the day, or even the day before. The flavors really build as it sits! 

-It will be good for up to 4-5 days in the fridge.

-If you'd like it a little more chunky, simply pulse or blend it for less time.
