I LOVE SALSA!
I am a beast when it comes to salsa. A very picky beast. That's why I've never made my own. It would destroy me as a person if I made bad salsa; too much onion, too much cilantro, not enough green chilies...the horror! It's like lumpy ketchup! All I taste is tomatoes and fire!
But since I am hoping to open my own cafe, I am creating a menu filled with my own recipes, and salsa is on the menu. I did my research, I studied ten of the best salsa recipes out there. I combined the best and most simple of recipes, for when it comes to food I have but one rule; keep it simple, stupid...
Here's what you'll need for Dat Salsa:
1 TBS Lime Juice
1 TBS Cilantro
1 TBS Garlic
1/4 CUP Onions
1 TSP Salt
2 CANS Diced Tomato
1 SMALL CAN Green chilies
1/2 TBS Cumin
1 Diced Jalapeno
Ehh...ignore that huge bag of sugar...I tried it in the first batch and didn't much enjoy the sweetness...but I was far far too lazy to take another photo. Also the bowl of fruit is equally inconsequential...

Now, in the future I will totally use freshly chopped tomatoes, garlic, onions and green chilies...however, I am super lazy so I bought all that stuff pre-cut and packaged for my convenience, yo!
So open that business up and toss it in that bowl! POW!
Next step is to blend it; any food processor or bullet type thing will do...
Mmmm, I know that looks nums, but you don't want to eat it yet. Those flavors have to set for a while, so chill it in the fridge, and in an hour or so you'll have some yummy salsa for the dipping!
