Homemade Restaurant Style Salsa



 
I have posted this amazingly delicious salsa before, but I realized with the festivities coming up next week, it might be a good idea to revisit this post.

Homemade salsa, tortilla chips, margaritas....  See a themed party or small get together here?

Enjoy!


Easy Restaurant Style Salsa
about 1 quart

2 cans diced tomatoes (15 oz) or use equivalent of fresh, diced
1/2 onion, cut into chunks
1 - 2 t fresh, minced garlic
1/2 - 2 jalapeno peppers (I often use jarred, sliced jalapeno's since we have them on hand all the time)
1 - 2 t honey (I often use sugar free as well and it works great)
1/2 - 3/4 t salt
1/2 t cumin
1 T lime juice (approximate - how limey do you like it?  I use the juice of 1 lime)
Cilantro or Parsley -  about a tablespoon or two dried or a small handful fresh


Place everything in a blender or food processor and process by pulsing just until blended.  Longer for smooth and shorter for more coarse texture.  Taste... adjust accordingly with pepper, salt, lime, etc.  Serve with tortilla chips.  I store in a quart jar in the refrigerator.




Everything thrown in a blender or food processor

I like it not too smooth and not too chunky.  Juuuuust right.
