This quick and easy Blender Salsa recipe combines fresh cilantro, jalapeno, tomatoes, onion, and lime juice, blended to a perfect consistency. With minimal prep time and simple ingredients, it delivers vibrant, zesty flavor ideal for dips, toppings, or as a condiment.

Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cilantro (loosely packed)
  • ½ small yellow onion
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • ½ small jalapeno (seeds and ribs removed)
  • 3-4 medium tomatoes, deseeded (about 250 grams, divided)
  • Juice of 1 lime

Seasoning

  • Salt to taste (approximately 1 teaspoon recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and roughly chop the cilantro, half of the small yellow onion, garlic clove, half of the jalapeno (with seeds and ribs removed to reduce heat), lime juice, and one of the tomatoes.
  2. Initial Blend: Add the cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, and one tomato to a food processor or blender. Pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and combined, creating a coarse salsa base.
  3. Add Remaining Tomatoes: Add the remaining 2-3 tomatoes to the blender. Pulse gently just until the tomatoes are incorporated and blended, being careful not to overprocess to maintain some texture.
  4. Season: Pour the blended salsa into a bowl. Add salt gradually to taste; the recipe suggests starting with less than 1 teaspoon as preferred saltiness varies.
  5. Serve: Mix well and serve immediately or chill for later use. This fresh salsa is perfect for chips, tacos, or as a flavorful topping.

Notes

  • Removing seeds and ribs from the jalapeno reduces the heat, adjust according to your spice preference.
  • Deseeding tomatoes helps prevent excess liquid for thicker salsa texture.
  • Add salt gradually and taste as you go since salt preference varies widely.
  • For a chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times; for smoother salsa, pulse longer carefully.
  • Use a food processor or blender that allows pulsing to control texture effectively.
