Ingredients
-
1 large plum tomato, coarsely chopped
-
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed
-
½ small onion, coarsely chopped
-
1 jalapeno pepper, coarsely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
½ lime, juiced
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
Directions
-
Combine tomato, cilantro, onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic in a food processor. Add olive oil, lime juice, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt; pulse until a coarse paste forms. Mix in green onions.
Cook's Notes:
Substitute 1 teaspoon garlic paste for the garlic cloves if preferred.
Please note that this salsa can turn out great with more or with no jalapeno; it just depends on your preference. However, because the spiciness of jalapenos is very unpredictable, I highly recommend leaving it out, transferring the salsa to a bowl, and then adding the finely chopped jalapeno gradually. I even throw mine in a small Magic Bullet(R)-style blender with a little olive oil and turn it into a paste so I can add it very carefully. This also allows you to separate the salsa into mild and spicy batches.
