(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 handful cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped (leave in seeds for a spicier salsa)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • juice of 1/2 - 1 whole lime
  • 1 teaspoon sugar*

Directions

  1. Add ingredients – whole tomatoes through salt – to a food processor. Add the juice of half a lime, plus the sugar if your canned tomatoes do not contain sugar (if sugar is listed as an ingredient on your canned tomatoes, omit the sugar.)
  2. Pulse ingredients until smooth then taste and add more lime juice and/or salt if necessary. Refrigerate overnight for best results then serve.
