Red Salsa
A classic tomato blend that can be thrown together in minutes for those teenage invasions and impromptu parties.
Ingredients
- ½ medium (65 g) onion, peeled, halved
- 1 jalapeño, seeded, stemmed
- ¼ cup (5 g) fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ lime, peeled
- ½ teaspoon salt, optional
- 6 (450 g) roma tomatoes
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- For Chunky Style Salsa: Select Variable 5. Pulse 10 to 15 times, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Alternatively for a smooth salsa:Run the Dip & Spread Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45-55 seconds, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades.
Chef's Notes
- For a thicker salsa remove the seeds from the tomato so you are just left with the flesh, or strain half the mixture in a fine mesh strainer after blending. For a spicier salsa, keep the jalapeno seeds in before blending.
