This homemade salsa recipe made with fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and fresh cilantro is simple to make and easily prepared in a Vitamix or food processor, or combined in a bowl for a chunkier texture in 5 minutes or less. There's no need to buy salsa when it's this easy to make!
Homemade Salsa Ingredients
- Roma Tomatoes-cut into quarters
- Jalapeño-seeded and chopped into quarters
- Fresh cilantro- stems removed (or adjust to taste preference)
- Freshly squeezed lime juice
- Onion-very finely chopped
- Cumin
- Salt
- *Optional: a clove of minced garlic
To make homemade salsa, start with good quality fresh ingredients.
How To Make Salsa In A Vitamix
Place the tomatoes, jalapeño, garlic (if using), and cilantro into the Vitamix and blend on Variable #1 or 2 using a tamper to push ingredients into the blade. Blend until desired texture is reached (I like mine a little chunky). Stir in the lime juice, chopped onions, and spices.
How To Make Salsa In A Food Processor
Place the tomatoes, jalapeño, garlic (if using), and cilantro into the food processor and pulse until the desired texture is achieved. Stir in remaining ingredients until mixed. Serve and enjoy.
How To Make Thick and Chunky Homemade Salsa
If you prefer a chunkier salsa texture, finely chop the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño and combine them in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in the lime juice, cumin, and salt. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
You can serve this fresh salsa with chips and guacamole for dipping, of course, but it's delicious in tacos, salads, and even with eggs for breakfast.
