Equipment

1 high-powdered blender or you can use a food processor

Ingredients

2 cups cherry tomatoes can also use Roma or plum tomatoes too
1/2 small red onion or 1/4 of a large red onion
1/2 small jalapeno pepper or 1/4 of a large pepper (seeds removed unless you like it spicy)
1-2 limes, juiced (or roughly 1-2 Tablespoons of juice)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 large garlic clove or two small garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
salt to taste

Instructions

Make the salsa: In a large blender container (or food processor) add all of the salsa ingredients with a pinch of salt. Rather than blend, pulse the blender until the ingredients come together and form a salsa - try not to blend it too long because you still want some texture in the salsa.
Serve: Then pour into a serving bowl, season with salt to taste until the flavor is just right, then serve with additional chopped cilantro over top. Enjoy!

Notes

How to store leftover salsa – the best way to keep leftover salsa fresh is to keep it refrigerated in a mason jar with a tight lid, or in a glass airtight container! Leftovers will last about 5-7 days.
