- 4 cups cherry tomatoes
- ¼ small onion
- 1 mini bell pepper (or half a full red bell pepper) (can use part of a jalapeno if you like spice)
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ juice of a lime
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Add all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes to a food processor and pulse 8 times (onion, bell pepper, and garlic can be added in large chunks, no need to fully chop).
Add cherry tomatoes and pulse 8 to 10 times. Do NOT puree or over blend, this will make your salsa too watery.
Store salsa in jars or containers (either 4 half pint jars or 2 pint jars), only fill ¾'s full if freezing. Salsa is best eaten the day you make it, but can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen immediately.
- Don't over process! Only use the pulse button on your food processor. Over processed salsa will be watery.
- Storage - Cherry Tomato Pico de Gallo is best eaten the same day it's made, but will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more the salsa will become watery as the salt draws the liquid from the tomatoes. That liquid, however, is delicious - throw it in with your taco meat! It can also be frozen immediately, and thawed overnight in the fridge to use.
- Nutrition amounts are based on 1 pint jar of salsa (so half the recipe).
