You’ll stop buying store-bought salsa when you realize how easy and quick it is to make your own. That, plus it’s a thousand times fresher and more delicious.

½ cup diced red, white, or yellow onion (about ½ medium onion)
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
⅛ cup minced cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1½ tablespoons lemon or lime juice (about ½ small lemon or lime)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions for a Food Processor:
1. In a food processor, blend all the ingredients on high until smooth.
Directions by Hand:
1. Place the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño in a medium bowl.
2. Add the cilantro, garlic, cumin, lemon (or lime) juice, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
TONI’S TIPS:
>>My husband loves spicy food. If you’re in that camp, try adding some of the jalapeño seeds to the salsa. And if you think you can handle a hotter pepper, test out a habanero instead of a jalapeño.
