Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 10 ripe Roma tomatoes
• 1 large red onion
• 2 jalape��os
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch of fresh cilantro
• Juice of one lime
• 1 teaspoon of salt

Equipment: Food Processor

Tomatoes are the heart of the salsa, providing that juicy, core texture. The red onions & jalape��os bring in the crunch and kick, while the lime juice adds a nice tangy punch. And, let’s not forget the garlic and cilantro – they’re the magical flavor enhancers!

How To Make Homemade Salsa

1. First, you need to prep your veggies. Start with washing the tomatoes, cilantro, and jalape��os. Peel and quarter the onion, halve the tomatoes, and deseed the jalape��os (unless you want additional heat).
2. Place the veggies and the rest of the ingredients in the food processor and pulse until you get a chunky yet cohesive salsa. To ensure an even chop, I suggest scraping the sides of the processor from time to time.
3. Adjust the seasoning as per your preference, and voil��! Your homemade salsa is ready to devour. Pair it with tortilla chips or use it to jazz up your tacos or burritos.

Tips For The Best Results

• Use ripe tomatoes for best taste.
• If you want extra heat, add more jalape��os.

Storage Tips

• Store the salsa in an air-tight container in the fridge. It keeps well for about a week.
