Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients EXCEPT for the green onion in a food processor. Pulse the food processor a few times until everything looks diced, but not completely blended.
    Blender with fresh tomatoes, spices, cilantro, jalapeño and lime juice for Homemade Salsa.
  • Pour salsa into a medium-sized bowl and stir in the onion. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight to let flavors meld together.

Notes

  • When blending, make sure to leave the green onions out until the end, they get too stringy in the blender. Just finely dice them and then stir them in at the end.
  • If you like a chunkier salsa, you can leave a portion of the diced tomatoes out of the blender or food processor and stir them in at the end with the green onion.
  • Eat this fresh salsa the way nature intended...with chips and some homemade guacamole. Enjoy!
