Ingredients in Restaurant-Style Salsa
Tomatoes: I use Whole Plum tomatoes, but I’ve used a large can of plain diced tomatoes. For the diced tomatoes with green chiles, I use the brand Rotel, but any store brand works just as well.
Onion: White or yellow? White onions are sharper and more pungent than yellow onions. I prefer white onion for this salsa for its sharpness.
Cilantro: I used 1/4 cup of cilantro, but if you love cilantro…use 1/2 cup.
Garlic, spices, and lime
Chunky or Smooth Restaurant-Style Salsa?
If you prefer chunky salsa, I pulse whole tomatoes & one can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, lime juice, and spices in a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until the right consistency, then place the salsa in a large bowl. Add the other can of diced tomatoes to the large bowl, stir, taste, and adjust the flavors.
For smooth salsa, add ingredients to a blender or food processor, and pulse until smooth consistency. Taste and adjust flavors.
