Wash your ingredients.
Cut the onion into smaller pieces and add all of the ingredients to your blender or food processor. 1/2 onion, 16 oz diced tomatoes, 2-3 cloves garlic, 2 lime, 1/4 bunch cilantro, 1/2 jalapeno, 1/2 tsp salt
Blend until smooth (or whatever your desired consistency is) and store in the fridge in an airtight container until serving. I love storing this salsa recipe in mason jars.

Recipe Tips:

I love making a big batch of this salsa and freeze them in quart sized zipper bags. This salsa is best thawed on the counter or in the fridge–not in the microwave.
You can use fresh tomatoes in this recipe, but I'd recommend removing the seeds and liquid to avoid watery salsa.
Using fire-roasted tomatoes or tomatoes with green chiles (a can of Rotel) is a fun way to make this recipe.
Love onion? Add an additional one. Love cilantro? Add an extra bunch of cilantro to this recipe–it's very easy to adapt and will be delicious even with extra ingredients. SO much better than store-bought salsa.
