Servings 6
Calories 16kcal
Ingredients
- 5 Roma Tomatoes cut into quarters- I used 5 med-large Roma tomatoes. You can go with 6 if they are on the smaller side.
- 1/2 onion chopped into four pieces- I go with sweet onion, but use your favorite variety for salsa
- 1 jalapeno stem removed, sliced in half and seeded- feel free to keep the seeds for extra spicy salsa!
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro stems removed, packed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice about 1 large lime juiced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Place the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and spices into the Vitamix canister and secure lid. Blend on Variable #1, then quickly bump to Variable #2 using a tamper to push ingredients into the blade.
- Blend until desired texture is reached (I like mine a little chunky).
Notes
If you don't have a Vitamix or high-powered blender you can easily make it in a food processor. Place the tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, garlic, and cilantro into the food processor and pulse until the desired texture is achieved.
