Homemade Salsa

This salsa was delicious and so easy to make. A food processor is a girl’s best friend in the kitchen – this really only took maybe 10 minutes and part of that was sticking the dirty stuff in the dishwasher after it was all done. It got rave reviews from everyone at lunch!


Ingredients:
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced in half
4 cloves garlic, halved
2 large vine-ripened tomatoes, quartered
1 (28 0z.) can diced tomatoes (drained or not, depending on how much liquid you want in your salsa) (I used 14.5 oz can)
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. cumin
1/2 sweet yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
juice of one lime

Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the jalapenos and garlic. Process until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add all other ingredients to the food processor. Pulse in very brief pulses until the vegetables have reached the size you desire (it does not take many pulses so don’t overdo it). Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
