Restaurant-Style Blender Salsa
Servings: 6
This restaurant-style blender salsa is bold, fresh, and exactly what you’d expect from your favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot. It’s got that perfect balance of zesty lime, garlicky depth, and just enough jalapeño heat, all blended into a smooth, scoopable salsa that’s ready in minutes. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and seriously hard to stop eating.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 jalapeño peppers ribs and seeds removed
- 1 yellow onion quartered
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic clove halved
- 3 cup diced tomatoes undrained
- ¼ cup lime juiced
- 1 tsp sea salt, unrefined
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all the ingredients.
- Pulse until the desired texture is reached.
Notes
- Control the heat: Remove jalapeño seeds for mild salsa, or leave some in if you like it spicy.
- Blend to your texture: Pulse for a chunkier salsa or blend longer for that smooth restaurant-style finish.
- Don’t skip the lime: Fresh lime juice brightens everything and balances the flavors.
- Let it rest: Chill for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together.
- Taste and adjust: Add a pinch more salt or lime after blending to make the flavors pop.
