I LOVE salsa! Love it! As a
consequence, you are going to see a lot of salsa recipes from me because it is
easy to make, very delicious, darned good for you, and more versatile than any
other condiment that I know. There is a method to my madness. Once I have found
the absolute best salsa recipes, I plan on serving them all, at once, by way of
a Salsa Bar. Imagine, if you will, punch bowls full of chips, pitchers full of
sangria of various types, and bowl after bowl of salsa, each one better than
the last. Throw in a slab of chocolate and this pretty much sounds like heaven
to me.
Today’s recipe replicates
my favorite restaurant's salsa. It is unbelievably easy to make because all
you really need do is dump everything into a food processor, pulse until desired
consistency is reached, and grab some chips. I made mine a bit better than theirs, I think, by
charring the jalapenos first; I do like that roasted taste. Feel free to add or subtract seasonings and other ingredients according to your own tastes. You will love it!
Restaurant-Style Salsa
1 28-oz. can whole, peeled
tomatoes, drained, juice reserved
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, rough
chopped
1/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1 Melissa’s
jalapeno (roasted, if
desired), seeded
¾ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
Place all ingredients into a
food processor and pulse until the desired consistency is reached. If it is thicker than what you generally
like, stir in a bit of the reserved juice from the tomatoes. Chill before
serving. This keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge.

You my dear, are such a great chef! I love this salsa, I will try it soon.

PS: My dear Mil taught me, or gave me a tip for baking patterned cakes, or for not sticking actually. "You grease your pan of choice with butter and very fine 'bread crumbs' instead of the same flour."
I never fails! Hope it helps.

Salsa is one of my favorite things too and I've never been able to make it as good as my favorite Mexican restaurant does. I will give this one a try! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
