Blender Salsa
Turn fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes into the best salsa you’ve ever had! This fresh tomato blender salsa is easy to whip up, endlessly adaptable, and so delicious.
Equipment
- Blender or mini food processor
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cilantro loosely packed
- ½ small yellow onion
- 1 large clove garlic
- ½ small jalapeno seeds and ribs removed (see notes)
- 3-4 medium tomatoes, deseeded (250 grams) divided
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, and one tomato to a food processor or blender.
- Pulse the blender until everything is finely chopped.
- Add the rest of the tomatoes and pulse until the tomatoes are blended – be careful not to overdo it.
- Pour the salsa into a bowl and add salt to taste. I used 1 teaspoon, but I like very salty salsa, so you may want to start with less.
Notes
- I really like my Ninja Mini food processor for this recipe. It does a perfect job of blending the salsa without over-pulverizing.
- For spicier salsa, you can leave in some of the seeds from the jalapeños. If you are sensitive to spice and want to keep the salsa extra mild, use a green bell pepper instead.
- Feel free to adjust any of the ingredients in this salsa. If you like extra lime, add it. If you hate cilantro, leave it out.
- The instructions say to add everything except tomatoes, then add one tomato to the blender and blend that first. This is to get everything else chopped really small without over-processing the tomatoes. If you don’t add the one tomato, the blender will struggle from a lack of liquid.
