Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

  • 15oz can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • ¼ onion red, yellow or white
  • 3 mini bell pepper or half of a red bell pepper (add or sub jalapeño pepper for spicy salsa)
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 juice of a lime
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 grinds fresh black pepper
  • pinch sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Chop onion and bell pepper into large chunks. Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until desired consistency.
  • Store in jars in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Fire Roasted Tomatoes are best, but if you can't find them, substitute stewed or diced tomatoes.  Fresh tomatoes will also work but give you a different type of salsa.
  • Don't Over Blend - pulse salsa in a food processor just until the desired consistency so it doesn't become watery.
  • Recipe makes about 3 cups of salsa.
