5-Minute Blender Salsa
A simple, easy, and delicious salsa!
Servings: 8
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. can Diced Tomatoes – I prefer to use fire roasted for more depth of flavor
- 1/2 large White Onion, diced
- 1 Jalapeño, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp Salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tbsp Sugar
- (optional) 1 handful Cilantro
- (optional) 1/2 tsp Cumin
Instructions
- Chop up the veggies roughly and add all of the ingredients to your blender.
- Blend by pulsing for a few seconds at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. I prefer my salsa a little bit chunky, but you can make a smoother salsa if that’s what you prefer!
- Enjoy with some tortilla chips or as a topping to a dish! This should last refrigerated for 5-7 days.
