Homemade Restaurant-Style Salsa
This salsa tastes better than anything you’d get at a restaurant and takes ~10 minutes to make. I make a batch every week or two and keep it in the fridge – it actually gets better after sitting overnight.

Ingredients
Ingredients (~12 servings)
- 1/4 medium white onion coarsely chopped
- 1/4 medium red onion coarsely chopped
- 1 jalapeño seeds and ribs removed for less heat, chopped
- 1 clove garlic smashed and roughly chopped
- 1 can whole peeled tomatoes 14 oz
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- Small handful cilantro leaves
- 1/4 lime juiced
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies 7 oz
Instructions
- Pulse white onion, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic in food processor 4-5 times until finely chopped.
- Add whole peeled tomatoes with juices, cilantro, sugar, salt, and lime juice.
- Pulse 3-4 times until tomatoes break down and mixture resembles salsa.
- Add diced tomatoes with green chilies and pulse 2-3 more times to reach desired consistency.
- Taste and add additional salt if needed.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for best flavor, though it can be served immediately.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
Notes
Salsa improves with time as flavors blend and salt draws out tomato juices.
