A simple and fresh salsa recipe, perfect for chips or Mexican dishes. This recipe yields a bright, flavorful salsa with a customizable spice level.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped white onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1–2 jalapeños, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 1–2 limes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, and garlic in a food processor or blender.
  2. Add lime juice and salt.
  3. Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times. For a smoother salsa, process longer.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can roast the tomatoes and jalapeños before chopping and blending.
  • This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Customize the heat by adjusting the number of jalapeños or leaving some seeds in.
