Homemade Blender Salsa is a fresh, zesty, and easy-to-make dip made with tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice—all blended in seconds for a restaurant-style salsa that’s perfect for dipping or topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes (or 6 fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 medium onion (white or yellow), chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
  2. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and any optional ingredients to a blender or food processor.
  3. Pulse several times until desired texture is reached—chunky or smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust salt, lime, or spice as needed.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance flavor (optional).
  6. Serve with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, eggs, and more.

Notes

  • Use canned or peeled fresh tomatoes for best texture.
  • Adjust heat by using more or less jalapeño/serrano pepper.
  • For a thicker salsa, drain tomatoes slightly before blending.
  • Optional sugar balances acidity if salsa tastes too sharp.
  • Salsa flavor improves after chilling, but it’s ready to enjoy immediately.
