- 3 ripe tomatoes cored and quartered
- 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 onion quartered
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 jalapeño chopped (seeds removed, optional)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse in 2-second bursts until all ingredients are finely chopped. Pulse until desired consistency.
Serve with sliced veggies, tortilla chips, or pork rinds.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Salsa always tastes best after it's been refrigerated for a few hours. If time allows, I recommend letting the flavors marinate together before serving.
