Fresh Salsa

Description Recipe

Here's an easy recipe for a fresh salsa that will knock your socks off.

1 - 15
oz can diced tomatoes
½
white onion finely chopped
1
can Herdez green salsa
Handful of chopped fresh cilantro
2
garlic cloves, finely minced
½
of a fresh jalapeno – depending upon how spicy you like the salsa – remove the seeds if you like it less spicy, use even less of the jalapeno (or none) if you don’t like spicy
1
tsp cumin
½
tsp salt
2
tsp lemon juice

I usually use my small food processor to make this salsa. It really cuts down on the chopping and the amount of work involved in making the salsa.

In food processor put peeled garlic, cilantro, jalapeno and rough chopped onion. Pulse off and on until everything is chopped to your liking. Remove and place in bowl.

Put tomatoes in the food processor and blend. I like to completely blend my tomatoes, but if you prefer to have chunks of tomatoes – pulse the processor off and on until the consistency is to your liking. Add to bowl.

Add the herdez, lemon juice, cumin and salt. Stir to combine. Let salsa sit for several hours to overnight for flavors to blend. Serve with chips and enjoy. An added margarita would even be better!
