This super simple salsa can be made in a pinch with a can of diced tomatoes, some canned jalapenos, fresh lime
Juice, onion, spices and a food processor (or blender). Plus you can easily double the recipe by sending in a larger
28-ounce can of diced tomatoes, and simply doubling up on all the other ingredients. Use this versatile salsa as a dip
for tortilla chips or plop it down onto any dish that needs flavor assistance—from eggs to taco salads to wraps to
fish—for that extra special restaurant-style zing. You can adjust the heat level to suit your taste by tweaking the amount of canned jalapenos in the mix.
MAKES 2 CUPS
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 3 tbsp bottled or canned diced jalapenos
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 cup diced white or yellow onion
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine diced tomatoes, jalapenos, lime juice and spices in a food processor. Process on high speed for a few seconds until the tomatoes are nearly pureed, but still chunky and the jalapenos are chopped into visible minced bits. Be careful not to over-process.
- Pour mixture into a bowl and add the sliced onion. Stir well, cover and store overnight for the flavors to develop.
