    In a food processor combine, then pulse until you have the consistency:

    4-5 tomatoes, sliced and squeezed of some of the innards
    1 medium onion, cut into quarters
    1 jalapeno, cut into slices
    2-3 cloves of garlic, smashed first so you don't get big chunks
    1-2 handfuls of cilantro
    juice of 1 lime or lemon
    salt to taste

    that's so funny... I was just gonna write in a recipe almost exactly like that... if you want a more chunky look and not so foamy-- leave out the tomatoes and hand chop them and then mix it all together by hand at the end...
  • My husband always makes his own. He uses canned whole tomatoes, chopped garlic, and jalepenos (sp?). Usually two large cans and the others to taste. Experiment to see what works for you. :happy:

    Hello! I make this salsa at least once a week, my whole family loves it, and it is very simple

    1 large can diced tomatoes
    1 onion
    handful cilantro
    1 anaheim pepper (seeded)
    2 tsp. splenda
    2 tbsp. lemon juice
    pinch salt

    Put onion, cilantro,pepper, lemon juice, salt and splenda in blender and pulse until well chopped. Add tomato a little at a time and mix until well blended.....serve!
