Servings: 4 -6
Calories: 46kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups of chopped roma tomatoes, tops cut off
- ½ of chopped white onion
- ⅓ cup of cilantro
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of cumin
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chiles
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or a blender.
- Blend until your choice of a smooth or chunky consistency is achieved.
Notes
- Adjust the texture: You can process the garden fresh salsa until fairly chunky or only slightly chunky. Alternatively, skip the food processor and chop the ingredients into uniform pieces of your desired size.
- Adjust the heat: Lots of heat is stored in chili seeds, so if you’re using fresh chilies, adjust how much (if any) you use. Alternatively, use a hotter/milder chili.
- To avoid watery salsa: De-seed the tomatoes, especially if they're particularly seedy/juicy.
- Tweak to taste: You can add more or less chili, lime juice, salt, etc., swap the chili, add extra ingredients, etc., to tweak the fresh garden salsa recipe to your liking.
