Best Salsa Recipe (Easy Restaurant-Style)
This restaurant-style salsa is hands down the best salsa recipe. It's easy, takes just five minutes and loaded with flavor!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ yellow onion roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and roughly chopped
- 2 (14-ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes drained
- 1 (4-ounce) can green chilies
- ½ cup fresh cilantro approx 1/2 a bunch
- ½ lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons juice)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place ingredients in the food processor. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno to the food processor first. These ingredients will be chopped finer if they're on the bottom. Then add the drained tomatoes, green chilies (no need to drain), cilantro, lime juice and salt.
- Blend the salsa. Pulse in one second increments. Keep pulsing until the salsa is well-blended, but still a little chunky. Season to taste with additional salt, or lime juice, if needed.
- Serve or store. Serve the salsa immediately with tortilla chips or store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
