Photo: Restaurant-Style Salsa Recipe
Ingredients
- Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
- One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 whole lime, juiced
Directions
Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

Ridiculously good. With those posting "problems" as to why they couldn't give this recipe a 5 star.............Taste people as you go! Everyone has different tastes, some have to prepare so children can eat, etc. If you like garlic......add more garlic, if you really like cilantro............add a lot more, etc. Recipe is good base and coming from a girl that can just about drink Paso Hot Picante all by itself............wont' be buying any premade stuff again. Thanks Ree and keep up the good work. We appreciate!

saw this episode on t.v. and decided, since i would be hosting a "cinco" party, that i'd try it....recieved rave reviews from my guests, in fact, several asked if it came from one of our favorite mexican restaurants! the only thing i added was a bit more salt and i'll add another jalapeno next time....

I am surprised at the reviews, this salsa is very bland if you follow it exactly. The ratio of seasonings to the amount of tomato is WAYYY off. I had to add way more salt, cumin, lime, onion, and cilantro because all you could taste was unsalted tomato. one 28oz can and two 10oz cans equal to 3lb of tomato. 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 3lb of tomato??? I would make this salsa again because the seasonings work well if you use the right portions.
