Restaurant Style Salsa
Recipe video above. Just like what you get at your favourite restaurant and those jars sold alongside corn chips at the grocery store.... but it's better, healthier and cheaper! The fresh flavour is so, so good. Make it chunkier or smoother, to your taste.

Ingredients
4 servings
- 1/4 cup chopped onion ((white, brown or yellow))
- 1 tbsp jalapeño pepper (, seeds removed, roughly chopped (fresh best, canned ok))
- 400 g / 14 oz canned crushed tomato (, best quality)
- 4 oz / 120g canned diced green chiles ((Note 1))
- 1/4 cup (packed) cilantro/coriander (, roughly chopped)
- 1/2 tbsp + lime juice
- 1 clove garlic (, minced)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Steps
-
Place onion and jalapeno in the food processor first, then add remaining ingredients (start with 1/2 tbsp lime juice).
-
Blitz to desired consistency - I like mine pretty smooth because you get better flavour out of the onion etc.
-
Taste test with corn chip for salt and lime. Adjust if necessary.
-
Refrigerate 1 hour before serving with corn chips, or other dippers (see in post for suggestions).
