Ingredients
- 16 ounces cocktail tomatoes (halved) (454g)
- 0.7 ounces fresh cilantro (a small blister pack) (20g)
- juice and zest of 1 lime
- ½ red onion (chopped into thirds)
- ½ tablespoon Jarred crushed chilies (this is for a mild salsa, add more if you like it spicy!)
- 2 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Half the cherry tomatoes, chop the red onion and peel the garlic cloves.
- Place all of the ingredients into your blender.
- Pulse a few times until the ingredients are processed and combined, but stop when you still have a chunky consistency.
- Taste for seasoning and stir additional salt, sugar or chili into the salsa to suit your tastes.
Notes
- Use the freshest and highest quality ingredients that you can lay your hands on for this recipe. You will definitely taste the difference.
- Pulse, don't blend, the ingredients together so your salsa is on the chunky side. If you blend, it will turn out like a soup!
- This recipe is easy to double if you are hosting big!
- Once made, taste the salsa and adjust the chilies, salt and sugar to your liking.
- If you do adjust the seasonings, stir them in to the salsa rather than use the blender, so as to keep the restaurant-style chunky texture.
