Homemade Salsa

Prep Your Ingredients Start by washing and preparing your veggies to keep things fresh and safe. Place the fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, peppers, cilantro, lime juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons sugar (if you’re using it), and salt into your food processor or blender. Pulse the mixture until it’s finely blended but still has some nice texture this keeps the salsa interesting and not too smooth.

Once that’s done, add the canned crushed tomatoes and diced green chiles to the mix, then puree again until it’s mostly smooth with a bit of chunkiness for that homemade feel. Take a taste and tweak with more cumin, sugar, or salt as needed to get it just how you like. Finally, pop it in the fridge until it’s chilled and ready to serve, which helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
