Restaurant-Style Salsa

Amending this to include a few more ingredients... makes a good one even better! This is closer to the Pioneer Woman's salsa. I leave out the garlic that she includes.

This salsa tastes just like what you would find in a restaurant. I like it because it tastes completely fresh, but uses canned tomatoes. So you can make it all year round! My friend Kerry shared this recipe with me years ago and I've made it regularly ever since.


-1 (28 oz) can whole, peeled tomatoes, undrained
-2 (10 oz) cans Rotel tomatoes with green chiles, drained
-1/4 small white onion
-1 cup fresh cilantro
-1 jalapeno (keep the seeds in for heat)
-1/4 tsp sugar
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp cumin
-juice of one lime

Throw all ingredients in your food processor and let 'er rip. I like my salsa pretty smooth, but you could leave it a little chunkier if that's how you roll. ENJOY!
