Easy Homemade Salsa

In cleaning out the cabinet the other day I came across a forgotten bag of Tostitos that by some magic had not yet gone stale. Excitedly, I grabbed said bag and began rummaging through the refrigerator for some salsa only to come up empty handed. I've always known that salsa is super easy to make but it's just something I'd never taken the time to try out before- until now!

I love it because it can be tweaked to perfection and there's a million possible variations. I followed this recipe as a guideline but omitted the jalapeños since I'm not feeling spicy food right now. I also cut the recipe in half because I wasn't sure how it would come out. Fortunately, it came out fantastic and I plan on making this over and over again. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it ended up costing less than a jar would.



Blend together:
1- 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1- 10 oz can orginal Rotel
1/2 small onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1/2-1 jalapeno, seeded or not (depends on how spicy you like it)
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
small to medium size handful of cilantro
washed juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)
