Ingredients
  

Tomatoes

  • 56 ounces whole peeled tomatoes drained (I prefer San Marzanos)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves rough chopped
  • 0.5 medium white onion rough chopped
  • 2 peppers jalapeno peppers stem & membranes removed
  • 1 clove garlic skin removed
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt or coarse sea salt if using table salt (use ½ teaspoon)
  • 2.5 limes lime juice
  • 0.75 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until you get the desired consistency (12-18 pulses should do).
  • Taste test and season to taste
  • Place the salsa in an airtight container and refrigerate. The salsa is best after one hour of refrigeration and gets even better after 24 hours.
  • The salsa will keep up to 7 days, refrigerated.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the salsa to refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. It will keep in the fridge for up to 7 days.
