Aimee’s Recipe Notes
Taste & Texture- Depending on how much you process the salsa, you can serve it thin or chunky! Increase the spiciness by adding more jalapenos.
What I Love- no need to peel tomatoes, cook the salsa, just blend and enjoy!
Budget Friendly- no fancy ingredients in this salsa. Meaurements are flexible too!
Tools- You’ll need a blender or food processor to make this salsa.
Garden Fresh Ingredients

- Tomatoes- I love using Roma tomatoes for this salsa. The skin is thin, so there’s no need to peel. You’ll need about 6 large Romas, but feel free to adjust as needed. Some recipes call for canned tomatoes, but I prefer the flavor of fresh in this recipe.
- Onion- Typically I make this salsa with white onions, but red onion or yellow onion will work just fine too.
- Lime- You’ll need one fresh lime, juiced into the blender.
- Jalapeno- this is where you can get spicy or mild. Adding in one whole jalapeno with seeds will give you a mild-medium spice. My family like a couple of jalapenos in our salsa, but scraping the seeds out will give you a very mild salsa.
- Seasonings- Cumin, kosher salt, and a little sugar give the perfect flavoring for this easy blender salsa. I’ve even used Splenda to keep this recipe sugar free.

Blender Salsa Recipe
This 5-minute Blender Salsa recipe is simple to make and tastes better than a restaurant salsa. Dust off your blender and whip up this garden fresh salsa in minutes.
Ingredients
- 6 roma tomatoes
- 1 small white onion
- 1 jalapeno
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Grab a cutting board and place it next to your blender. Cut off the tops of tomatoes, then cut each tomato into fourths. Add to the blender.
- Peel then cut a small white onion into fourths, add to blender.
- Cut off the top of a jalapeno and add it to the blender.
- Add cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt and sugar. Pulse blender several times to desired consistency (scrape down sides of blender if needed). Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- I use large, fresh roma tomatoes for salsa. Some people use a can of diced tomatoes, but I prefer the fresh flavor best.
- You’ll need about 1/2 cup onion, so depending on the size of your onion you can determine how much to toss in. Red onion can also be used instead of white onion.
- I add the whole jalapeno. I don’t find it too spicy, but you can adjust the heat for yourself by scraping out the seeds first. I’ve also used serrano peppers and Italian roasting peppers too.
- Pulse the blender about 10 quick times to start. Scrape down the sides of the blender and determine how chunky you prefer your salsa. Pulse additional times until desired consistency.
- Store salsa in the refrigerator in an airtight container and use within one week for best flavor and texture.
