Fresh Salsa
AuthorMelissa JoyDifficultyBeginnerDrain 1 to 2 cans of Rotel and add your desired amount to a large food processor.
Remove seeds and ribs from the jalapeños and cut into smaller pieces, the add to the food processor. If you are unsure of the level of spice you want, begin by adding just one jalapeño. Note: to save yourself some pain later on, use plastic gloves to handle the peppers to avoid getting the oil onto your fingers.
Peel garlic and chop into some smaller pieces before throwing them into the food processor.
Wash the Roma tomatoes and cut into 4 pieces before throwing into the food processor. Start with 4-6 cut up tomatoes and you can add more as needed.
Add fresh cilantro leaves to taste, then sprinkle with the sea salt to taste and add a squeeze of lime juice. I like to taste the lime, so I start with the juice of one whole lime.
Replace the lid on your food chopper and hold down hold down the Pulse to Chop button until your desired consistency.
Remove lid, sample a small amount and adjust to get just the right flavor. If it is too spicy, feel free to add more tomatoes. If it's not spicy enough, add another jalapeño. Tweak the garlic, lime, sea salt and cilantro until you are pleased.
Enjoy!
