Easy Restaurant-Style Salsa
This wicked easy restaurant-style salsa is quick, easy, and beyond delicious! You'll never again rush to a restaurant or resort to a jar to get your fix now that you have this tasty recipe in your arsenal!
Ingredients
- 6 Roma tomatoes (approx 1.5 lb)
- ¼ medium red onion or white onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 TBSP white vinegar or fresh squeezed lime juice
- ½-1 tsp salt
- fresh chopped cilantro to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to broil on high.
-
Line a baking sheet with foil and roast tomatoes, halved or whole, for 10-15 minutes on the center rack of the oven.
-
Don't be alarmed when the skin of the tomatoes peels back a bit during cooking; some will bubble, some may turn inside out, but its totally normal!
-
Once they're nice and toasty, remove from oven and allow your tomatoes to cool a bit.
-
Decide if you want mild, medium, or spicy salsa. For mild, use a spoon to scoop out the insides from the jalapenos (ribs + seeds) entirley. For medium, leave some of the seeds in tact. For spicy - leave all the goodies in your jalapenos (minus the stem of course) and feel free to add extra if you'd like!
-
Roughly chop your onion and jalapeño. Smash, peel, then mince garlic. Start with one clove as extra can always be added after.
-
Toss everything but the cilantro in the food processor and pulse a few times and blend to your favorite level of smoothness or chunkiness.
-
Once blended, add some finely chopped cilantro to taste.
-
Allow to cool to room temperature and dig in face first with some chips or veggies!
