Servings 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 green pepper diced
  • 1 Tbsp diced pickled jalapenos or more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 lime squeezed
  • 5 fresh tomatoes diced (vine-ripened tastes THE best)

Instructions

  1. If you've finely hand-chopped and diced everything, just mix together and enjoy!

  2. If you're using a food processor or blender, no need to finely chop everything and keep reading:

  3. Coarsely chop cilantro, onions, green peppers and place them along with the rest of the ingredients except the tomatoes in your food processor or blender. Pulse slowly (speed 4 if using a Vitamix Blender) 4 or 5 time for 1 or 2 seconds at a time. Cut your tomatoes into eighths and add to blender/processor. Continue pulsing until your salsa has reached the desired consistency, being careful not to over-blend! And taste-test frequently! ;)

  4. Makes about 4 cups of salsa.

Recipe Notes

If using the Vitamix, salsa will be a little watery at first, but will become less watery as it sits out or after it's refrigerated.

Use fresh jalapenos instead of picked for more of a kick.
