Ingredients

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped yellow onion
  • 1 jalapeño, roughly chopped (deseeded if desired)
  • 1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Directions

  • Place all ingredients in a large blender and blend until combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

I recommend making salsa at least an hour prior to serving, as blending makes it slightly frothy and the bubbles need a bit of time to settle down.
